I guess you mean v.net operation=nodes ? What is the exact command line 
you use ?

By default, nlayer should be 2 and ccats has to list the cat values of 
the nodes you want to include in your salesman journey. If you just want 
to include all nodes, use ccats=1-9999.

What is layer_0 and how do you see that it contains the nodes ?

Again, could you tell us how you get that info ?
