I've never used PD6, so I don't honestly know whether it can be done.
Obviously, you must have located your Profiles folder - yes? You said you'd followed the steps but the profile didn't appear in PD's interface. Have I understood correctly?
I know that in PD8 & 9, profiles will not appear if you've used the wrong naming protocol.
Here's a slightly different method (just a variation) from the one in the PDtoots video http://www.youtube.com/user/ynotfish77#p/u/23/IIFemK-akHY - that may help overcome your problem.
Could you please post a screenshot of your profiles folder?
Cheers - Tony
