My site was finally crawled on the 9th of January.My Index page is cached with my latest page.
However none of my other pages have been crawled. Why wouldn't the gbot just crawl of my pages instead of stopping at the index?
I have a site map(NOT g site map just a page with all of my pages on it).

I think you have to wait until a big update to get the rest in, or at least thats what I find

I have one that is the same way for almost three months now. It is fully indexed on the BigDaddy dc.

In my experience, Google comes by and finds your site the first time. Then it comes back and sees you're still there, so it says "well done" and gives you a register on the PR bar. Then it starts showing more pages cached, but you still don't show up in results. That last stage can last a long time. Maybe 6 months is a good estimate. Meanwhile you will establish a more solid PR (4 maybe if you get a few back links). What is more interesting meantime is to watch traffic. If it is going up then you are on the right track, and pages are appearing somewhere even if you don't know where.

I often hear people say they are surprised to have got clients from their sites, when they have a site that lists nowhere. Obviously the site must be showing somewhere, and a lot of traffic comes from places you never think of.
