If you have a menu but it hasn't a submenu with a valid action, OpenERP doesn't show it. You must create a main menu (the main that appears in the top bar menu), a section main menu (the violet menu in the section) and a valid menu (the real clickable menu):

<menuitem id="main_menu" name="Main"/>
    <menuitem id="section_main_menu" parent="main_menu" />
    <menuitem id="real_menu" parent="section_main_menu" action="your_action"/>

On base/base_menu.xml:13

    <!-- Top menu item -->
    <menuitem name="Settings"
        id="menu_administration"
        sequence="500"/>

So I'd suggest that you remove the parent attribute on your code
