What zoom are you looking at? Some features like ATMs only appear on
zooms 17 & 18.

The most likely problem is that you have not used an up to date copy of
default.style when running the osm2pgsql import. If so, you may be
missing some of the columns in the DB tables and Mapnik will silently
fail to render any layer which references the missing data.
