I think we'd need a little bit more information about your
configuration.  In particular, when the script runs does it
have access to the PmWiki functions, or is it run external to
pmwiki.php?

As a possible answer to your question, note that in

     $out .= '<li><a href="$something/Group/Page" >Label</a>';

the substitution will never take place because the string is
in single quotes instead of double.  You might want instead

     $out .= "<li><a href='$something/Group/Page' >Label</a>";

so that $something is properly substituted.
