Google sitemaps and duplicate content risk issues

Hi everyone,

I have a data base driven joomla website and 772 categories, most of them still empty because the site is new...

I would like Google to only show content pages, for example, I would want this page to be crawled:

http://example.com/marketing/merchandising/promotional-merchandise.html

but not these pages:

http://example.com/marketing/merchandising/
http://example.com/marketing/

The above pages are empty, just a directory listing and links, would Google see that as duplicate content or will they just quickly crawl them until getting to my content items?

I put very important in the subject field because doing the wrong thing could easily get my banned...:(

Thanks,
Bruno
