Hi Josh,
Could I ask what organization you're a part of?
1)If you're a customer that's in production with the Publication manager, you should be using the publication branch of SP3, or SP4 Publisher. Otherwise, you should make sure you have the same versions running of all relevant components (MDM Server, Data Manager, InDesign Plug-in and Layout Server.) Try uninstalling and reinstalling the layout server.
2)When you import an InDesign template, since you may only have one template imported at a time, you don't really need to know its location. The way to use it when publishing, is to check off the Use template option in the publish dialog. The Publication Manager knows to get and use the template that was last imported. Importing a different template, will override the template currently stored.
3)Judging from this last question, it seems like there may be a bit of confusion on your part about what is meant by a template in this version. In SP3, the use of the DTP template, is only meant to serve as a way of getting the master page objects (headers, footers, etc.) on to the page that the data is being published on to (as opposed to publishing to a blank page). It is not a template in the traditional sense where you would designate positioning for some of the items and have that geometry applied to all other families. (This is a new feature of SP4 which I would be happy to demonstrate) So, that being said, SP3 use of DTP templates only applies when you are publishing the page to the DTP, and for that reason, may not be used in the Layout mode where you are not dealing with a specific publication, but rather with the entire family hierarchy.
I hope all this makes sense.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if you're still having trouble publishing to InDesign.
