I used your circuit without the parallel resistor. After I tested the VISampler program, I uploaded the normal energymon sketch to arduino and ran the ArduinoComm program. I get Amp readings like these:
Before plugging in the CT:
0.88
0.86
0.78 etc
After plugging in the CT:
0.98
1.01
0.96 etc
So the CT is definitely picking up the current. The power I am monitoring is for my desktop PC. Sorry for the long post, but maybe this will help other newbies like me. Any further help you can give me is much appreciated

Hi Trystan
When I compile the VISampler program, I get the following:
Note: GCanvas.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Then, when I take a sample, it looks like this: http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac345/lbeetge/Screenshot-PowerSampler...
