Sorry - the error freaked me out a bit and I didn't read far enough into your post...
Just to add, on the profile creation page.. you do not provide an option for a general overview of everything..

that is what Trevor is adding now that is causing the error you saw
there are not enough options to clearly say what each techmate has knowledge on..
The profile is a basic summary - the details of the services offered, skills, knowledge, speciality and previous experience goes in the Tech Portfolio - accessible below the Profile controls.
The services that a Techmate offers for sale (featured in the HelpStore - added through the business center) give the opportunity for tons of details about the services offered (including 'options' which the Techmate can offer and the customer can select) and link back to the Techmate's profile where they are appear in a special navy box so customers can just click to view, customize and purchase.
The services offered box only appears when there is a service for sale. The Portfolio box also only appears when the portfolio has been added (not all fields are mandatory - but something needs to be added on each of the three portfolio pages in order for the box to appear.)
