I use Verity often (including in an education-oriented document management project that I'm working on), but have avoided categories...probably because of the lack of good documentation on their use.
What I do is index documents with Verity, and have the [key] be the PK in a documents table in my database. I will then create any other tables that I need to further describe or categorize the data and use that to "refine" my verity search by excluding records as needed with an in/not in statement in my SQL. That's a very, very boiled down description of the approach I take, there does tend to be a lot more going on...
