I'm glad that helped. I'm not sure about page templates, but you might have to use the first method I was talking about. As far as I know, comments are only available for use in node templates. If you have devel installed and enabled, try <?php dsm($node); ?> and see if the comments are in the node variable. If they are, you might be able to use something like <?php print render($node['comments']); ?>. Let me know if that helps.
