Starting openbox with the following:

openbox --debug > ~/.logs/openbox.log 2>&1

The only error messages I see in the log when attempting to access the
menu are:

(openbox:27683): Openbox-WARNING **: Attempted to access menu 'root-menu' but it does not exist.

This message is repeated once for each access attempt.

Both the original menu file and my custom exist:

$ ls -l /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        22960 2004-07-09 17:43 /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml

ls -l ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml 
-rw-r--r--    1 jcollins jcollins     4855 2004-07-11 16:46 /home/jcollins/.config/openbox/menu.xml

And near as I can tell the configuration section is right:

<menu>
  <!-- You can specify more than one menu file in here and they are all loaded,
       just don't make menu ids clash or, well, it'll be kind of pointless -->

  <!-- system menu files on Debian systems -->
  <file>/var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml</file>

  <!-- default menu file (or custom one in $HOME/.config/openbox/) -->
  <file>menu.xml</file>
</menu>
