This is caused by the not-so-clean upgrade path for the menu editing 
features in gnome 2.0.2.  You will need to remove the 
applications.vfolder-info and preferences.vfolder-info files in the 
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders directory (it will be a different directory 
depending on where you installed gnome).  They are shadowing the 
.vfolder-info-default files.  After removing the files, things should 
work correctly again (you may need to restart panel/logout for it to 
take effect).
