Quoted: How did you wire the receptacles in series? Are you sure? They should be wired in parellel. As far as the light being wired off the last plug, the hot wire from the receptacles should be going to the hot side of the switch and a switch leg should be going to the light fixture along with a neutral.

I meant "in series"...
... the outlets are 'chained' to each other- as opposed to each outlet being wired indivudually.
I put the white wires on the side that the instructions said to- they're pretty much color coded
- and ran the black wires to the other side. Bare wire to green screw.
There were 3 wires - of each color- I'm thinking the '3rd/other' set went to the outlet on the otherside of the wall in the batchroom. 1 for this outlet, one to the hall light, and 1 to the bathroom. The bathroom is a gfi outlet, but it doesn't have the reset swith in it.
The bulb was a 60 watter.
I've installed my own breakers and added circuits before. I read the instruction 3 times and work slowly, double checking as I go.
