you have to create logical volumes in the vg. If you don't do that and just 
configure the VG but no volumes, then the VG is not created.

Unfortunately you did not provide me the information I asked you for. I 
wanted to see your partitioning part of the profile with the logical 
volumes. Even if that "fails terribly" I want to see it and I don't want to 
see a version that does not work either but does not fail that terrible.

That the VG is not created might just be an error, triggered by the profile 
part you did not show us. The logical volume configuration.

So, to speed things up, I start to guess.
Did you forget the <use>all</use> in the logical volume drive configuration? If
not, again, please poste your complete partitioning section. Even if it 
fails terribly. I can stand it. Just show it. :)
