I believe you pasted the content of the menuview.vm Velocity template in the "Custom Display" meta property of the "menuview.vm" property you added to the XWiki.XWikiSkins class. The tutorial doesn't tell you to do this. You must leave the "Custom Display" meta property empty. The tutorial tells you to paste the content of the menuview.vm in the XWiki.XWikiSkins object (not class!) that is attached to your skin document (and which you can edit in object mode).
You should probably read http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel if it's not clear for you what the XWiki classes, objects and properties are.
