Also, I would just like to state I can create the correct menu using the sitemap below, but the SiteMapPath will always show "Home > Home" on Default.aspx.  This isn't a huge problem just annoying.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0">
    <siteMapNode url="~/" title="Home" description="Home">
        <siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home" />
        <siteMapNode url="~/Page1.aspx" title="Test" description="Test" />
        <siteMapNode url="" title="Projects" description="Projects">
            <siteMapNode url="" title="Project 1" description="Project 1" />
        </siteMapNode>
    </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
