I would guess that the problem is Dylan's second possible diagnosis:

In your __init__.py should be an initialize() function that
calls context.registerClass for *each* class class that you want to
be an addable Product. Have you done this?  E.g. from Max M's
Minimal Product howto:

import minimal

def initialize(context): 
    """Initialize the minimal product.
    This makes the object apear in the product list"""
    context.registerClass(
        minimal.minimal,
        constructors = ( 
            minimal.manage_addMinimal, # This is called when 
                                       # someone adds the product
	    )
        )
