UPDATE:

Product feed seems to be accepted by Google now. The issue was with the Shipping Country not being defined. This was caused by the error above that is actually a bug from an older version of this plugin. The fix the error, I went to myphpadmin searched for google_cfg_pull_down_country_list and changed to zen_cfg_pull_down_country_list. Then went back to the regular site admin and added United States as the Shipping Country.

Then, in order to not need the attributes, I removed the "Google Product Category Default". Google is throwing up a warning about it, but not an error, which means products will start to be searchable. This means in the future they will probably make attributes mandatory to screw with people.

The conclusion is that this whole fiasco started in the first place because the tax/shipping info was not defined in the admin. With the upgrade and these changes, everything seems to be back to normal.

Thanks.
