I have a new site that I'm running and I've been looking forward to getting a page rank. One day I eventually received a PR1, then not a even a few days later I'm back at 0..
That does sometimes happen. Google will change your pr, then it may revisit your website a few days later (while the pr update is still in progress) and downvalue your sites pr.
Pr updates can last a week or even longer, so don't get too exited too quickly.
I think what is wrong is your priorities. It is a new site that you have, so naturally it will take time for all the metrics to settle. However, the toolbar pagerank is the last thing that should be worried about. Build up your site and its content with due care, and get down to links. Otherwise it just wouldn't work.
