I use the Gemini skin myself, but they are similar enough this should work fine.
 What the problem is is that creating Site.RightBar defines a rightbar for each
page, but does not make the pages display that bar (all pages still have no
rightbar by default until you add (:showright:) to the page.  This can be
altered easily, though.  Go into the skin.php file and change

SetTmplDisplay('PageRightFmt', 0);

to

SetTmplDisplay('PageRightFmt', 1);

Now all pages have the rightbar enabled as default.  This is actually in the
readme file for the skin, which has a lot of good advice for setting up the skin.
