I have fields such as Location and Favorite Movie in my user profiles and I want users to be able to click on the field items and get brought to a list of all the users who have selected the same location, movie, etc....A user clicks on "Ireland" in a "Location" field and he is shown a list of all the other users who have selected "Ireland" as thier Location.

I'm using the Content Profile module to treat my user profiles as nodes and I'm using Content Taxonomy for the fields in these profiles.

I went to my Profile content type and then clicked the Display Fields tab. I then selected "As Link" under "Full Node" for the Location and Favorite Movie fields. These fields are now appearing as links on my user profiles. However when I click on of the links, say I click a link under Location called Dublin, I get brought to a blank page that says "There are currently no posts in this category." whose title is Dublin. I would've thought that this page would have listed all the users whose location is Dublin? Is there some setting I need to change to enable it to do this? And if not, how would I go about it programmatically?

Same question here.
It seems adding a taxonomy field to the node does not automatically add it to the taxonomy selected in the taxonomy fields.
Is this by design?

I found the answer - in the field settigs for the content type, tick this option

Save values additionally to the core taxonomy system (into the 'term_node' table).

If this option is set, saving of terms is additionally handled by the taxonomy module. So saved terms from Content Taxonomy fields will appear as any other terms saved by the core taxonomy module. Set this option if you are using any other taxonomy application, like tagadelic. Otherwise terms are only saved in the cck tables and can only be accessed via the node or a view

Ok, thank you frazras! I really wish there was more documentation. It's a great module but this feature is way too hard to discover.

Basic idea, if you have your taxonomy terms listed on a node view or teaser view (I'm using Display Suite to get it there), the term link will not work unless you check the box on the field edit page accessible from the content type page:

Save values additionally to the core taxonomy system (into the 'term_node' table).

Oh, I also had to go back and edit all my existing nodes that were created before I checked that box.
