Well I figured it out, it definitely was me. Apparently you can't just set a root ACO and let that be, you do actually have to create all of the ACO's INCLUDING their children. For some reason from the tutorial I was under the impression that this wasn't needed, that you could just set a root ACO 'controllers' and then assign a group to it and it would work.
Anyways, I used the tool they provide to automatically create the Aco's based on controller actions and everything worked fine.
