Moving breadcrumbs not working

I am new to magento theming so bear with me.

I am trying to move the breadcrumbs in this theme from the page.xml into catalog.xml. The end goal I am trying to achieve is to have the breadcrumbs on the left side of the black category title banner you can see in this image:

so I thought I could just go into page.xml and take:

 <block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>

and paste it into catalog.xml.

Doing so yields no results no matter where I place it. Do I need to do anything else?

I checked out breadcrumbs.phtml and it seems to just be a div for the breadcrubs not relying on anything else:

<?php if($crumbs && is_array($crumbs)):
$_richSnippets = Mage::getStoreConfig('milanoconfig/richsnippets/enabled') == 1;
?>
<div class="breadcrumbs"<?php if($_richSnippets): ?> xmlns:v="http://ift.tt/OXr27x"<?php endif; ?>>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach($crumbs as $_crumbName=>$_crumbInfo): ?>
            <li class="<?php echo $_crumbName ?>"<?php if($_richSnippets): ?> typeof="v:Breadcrumb"<?php endif; ?>>
            <?php if($_crumbInfo['link']): ?>
                <a href="<?php echo $_crumbInfo['link'] ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_crumbInfo['title']) ?>"<?php if($_richSnippets): ?> rel="v:url" property="v:title"<?php endif; ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_crumbInfo['label']) ?></a>
            <?php elseif($_crumbInfo['last']): ?>
                <strong<?php if($_richSnippets): ?> property="v:title"<?php endif; ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_crumbInfo['label']) ?></strong>
            <?php else: ?>
                <?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_crumbInfo['label']) ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
            <?php if(!$_crumbInfo['last']): ?>
                &nbsp;<span>&raquo;</span>&nbsp;
            <?php endif; ?>
            </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
            <li class="back">
                <a href="javascript: history.go(-1)"><?php echo $this->__('Return to Previous Page') ?></a>
            </li>
    </ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
