The items are in the database that you would have downloaded as part of Vales' guide.
What Revision of the server and what revision of the PEQ database are you running, i.e. what did you download from here ?
http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list
The revision number for the database is in the filename, i.e. peqdb_revNNNN.sql.tar.gz
You will probably find there is an error in one of the logs in your eqemu\logs folder indicating what the problem with loading the items was. Usually it is because the structure of your database and the structure expected by the version of the server you are running don't match.
