Are you sure you need a view? Would taxonomy_menu, taxonomy_directory, or taxonomy_list handle your need?

I need to replace the Ubercart catalog page with my own. They don't use a template, so I've created a view and will just change my menu links to suit (cat instead of catalog). The title of the page needs to be the taxonomy term of the product. There's no setting for that in view. So I will have the taxonomy term as a field that isn't displayed, and grab it in the template and use it for the title. The first problem is that Taxonomy Term as a field choice does not all specifying a vocabulary ID. The product's brand is a vocabulary, and so is the catalog, so I can't specify that the field be taxonomy term, because what I get back is unpredictable. So I made it All Taxonomy Terms, which -does- let me specify the vocabulary. The trouble there, is that with a hierarchical vocabulary, even though there is only one term selected when creating the node, all parent terms are returned in the term field. Ok, so I'll just use the final term in the template for the title. What happens is that in the live preview for the page, the taxonomy terms are listed. But when I dump $row in the template (views-view-fields--viewname--page.tpl.php) the row contains the other fields, but not the taxonomy terms field?! No virus found in this incoming message.
