Most likely one of two reasons:

1) The version of PCS you're using doesn't have the auto-turret feature implemented (I don't know if therre was such a version, but there may have been.)

2) You have the hiearchy names wrong somewhere. Take a screenshot of the heiarchy, either in TrueView or in the timeline animator thingy, whichever you use, crop it to just the relevant parts so we don't have to load up a 1024x768 pic, and post it here.  

Hope that helps.

couldn't find trueview and don't know if it works for TS2, timeline? you lost me?
Mabye Im wrong (happens frequently) but Autoturret was supposed to put in sub data - does that, then put it in turrets section (50/50, I have no idea, just the impression I got becasue fire points was also mentioned - that dosn't work either???)
Lastes versoin.

Sorry, i couldn't think of the right name for it: the keyframe editor.

For autoturret to work, you need to have a turret named (example will be the first turret; just substitute the numbers for the other turrets) turret01. That turret needs to have a light named turret01-fp as it's sibling (glued alongside it). That light represents the firepoint of the turret, and the line from the center of the turret01 object to the firepoint light is the turret normal. I don't recall if the group of turret01 and turret01-fp needs to be called anything specific, but just call it the same as turret01.
