The WP e-commerce product categories use custom taxonomy wpsc_product_category. If you want to create a template for the product categories you just name the template file
taxonomy-wpsc_product_category.php
The category.php template is only for the blog categories.
Here is a reference:

Can you please describe the process in more detail? I am having a similar issue where I need to display a custom page when there are no products available.
Hello did you ever resolve this issue. I am having the same issue where my template is not using any wpec template files and instead my products page is the default page.php file.
Many Thanks.
That saved my life, thanks! (Why it’s not stated in Wp Ecommerce documentation…)
But how to create then outside template file to use two column layout for all products list on products page (or category list)? only this one page and checkout still use page.php. I tried taxonomy-wpsc_product_list.php but that doesn’t work. Any help really appreciated as that’s driving me crazy.
