Your example is good but you need to set the return attribute.
$this->set($menu, $this->Categories->requestAction('/categories/
getCategoryList', array('return'=>1)));
This is the type of thing that could use a cache as I descibed
http://lloydhome.com/blog/archives/2007/02/More-Caching-in-CakePHP.html
and
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/5e0034e1ce6c4798/#
If you follow the caching I posted then also add the cache parameter.
$this->set($menu, $this->Categories->requestAction('/categories/
getCategoryList', array('return'=>1, 'cache'=>1)));
