aha! I used eshop.php to be consistent with my submenu.

Of course you have to change the first parameter of the add submenu
page to match.

This also helped me understand this:
[quote from codex]
In situations where a plugin is creating it's own top-level menu, the
first submenu will normally have the same link title as the top-level
menu and hence the link will be duplicated. The duplicate link title
can be avoided by calling the add_submenu_page function with the
parent and file parameters being given the same value.

and I was able to sort that out as well!

Many thanks!
