Dual Channel DDR2
Am I right in thinking, that in a motherboard with two sets of two slots, in each set there is a black and a yellow coloured slots, that to run Dual Channel they need to be in the same colour slot? Not the same set of two? If that makes any sense :P

You should probably have them plugged into A1 and A2. Couldnt tell you if they are yellow or black. As far as motherboards go the manual should be your first point of call or at least a refference diagram.
Channel A has one black and one yellow and channel B also has one black and one yellow. The manual states that for your memory to work in dual channel you have to have the same amount of memory in each chanel. This would suggest that you could, in theory, have a 1GB stick in A1 and a 512MB in B1 and a 512MB in B2 and it would work however im assuming you have two of the same size so your asumption that you should have both in the yellow slots is correct. Slots should be labelled A1 and B1 not A1 and A2 as per my previous post.
A1/A2/B1/B2.
A1/B1 filled will give dual channel
A2/B2 filled will give dual channel
ALL filled will give dual channel
Match the colors.
