include/exclude flags in wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories]

Here are some things to check:

a) Make sure that all the WP files from 2.1 are completely removed 
when you upgrade to 2.5 (wipe out the root-level files except 
wp_config.php, and everything in wp-admin and wp-includes, then 
re-install 2.5).

b) Is it possible some plugin you are using, or some custom code in 
the theme's functions.php file, is screwing these things up? Try 
disabling plugins and see if you can get things to work, and/or 
switching to the default/classic theme.

c) On the custom fields problem, can you create a new custom field on 
an existing post/page in 2.5, with a completely new key, or is it just 
the existing key that is causing the problems?

d) If all else fails, maybe you can post the exact code you are trying 
to use with wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories that isn't working; 
maybe it has an error of some kind.
