As silly as this seems, have you set your screen echo to Highlighted?  If not, 
JAWS won't read menu items as you move through the menus.
The only alternative I can think of is to arrow through the menu, pressing the 
SayLine command (insert+up arrow) on every menu choice.
Does this help?

  When I had that problem, Freedom Scientific helped me to change the
  settings to their correct settings.
