I may be wrong but I think the DMOZ listing has some sort of bearing on it!

I don't think so. I launched a site in Feb, got a DMOZ listing in May and the site has good PR, is indexed often but hardly gets any traffic from Google. I have another site that was launched a little later and is also in DMOZ but gets no more than a handful of hits from it.
