I have started to notice that almost all my workshops are labeled with CLT. So, I tried to make some other things, and saw that no one took it to a stockpile. Any reason why this would be happening? I uploaded the save to megaupload, so if you want, you can download it to have a better look.

Also, any suggestions to make a better fort would be welcome.

I didn't look at the save, but I'll bet its one of three things:

One: No stockpile for intended item.
Two: No space in said stockpile

Or three (The most likely): Everyone's too busy hauling other stuff to haul those.

The first two are an easy fix, the third one would require you to change a few dwarf's hauling profiles to haul only the objects you want hauled - i.e., whatevers cluttering yer workshops.

All the dwarves that have no job are at the great hall. I even deconstructed my mechanic's workshop to see it they would pick those up, but no. There's plenty of space in the general stockpile from what I can tell.

define general stockpile?

Mechanics crap goes into a furniture stockpile. Your dwarves need hauling labours enabled as well.

[Angel of fire]

I just checked Dwarf Therapist, and it says that the the furniture labor is active for all the dwarves.
The general stockpile is as follows:
Animals
Furniture/Siege Ammo
Ammo
Coins
Finished goods
Leather
Cloth
Weapons/Trap comps
Armor

You haven't forbidden the items in question have you?

[Angel of fire]

No, none of them have been forbidden.

[Talanic]

Are the haulers restricted to burrows?  Are there military alerts active?

If the answer to those is no, or checking doesn't help, then try making a new furniture-specific stockpile with no alterations.  It could be that your general stockpile has a material that's not allowed, or something else odd like that.

A squad is currently on active/training. It is set up as seen here: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Military_quickstart
The only thing I changed is that I have eight members in my squad instead of five.
