How are you posting the shortcode in the template?

Here is the correct format according to a wordpress support thread. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-outside-page-or-post

<?php echo do_shortcode('[catlist id=1 numberposts=5)]'); ?>

The actual shortcode goes in with the square brackets.
