Scale is the oxygen that feeds collaboration. That's why collaborative tools like Facebook, and Twitter have taken off so spectacularly on the public web: With over a billion people on the Internet, the opportunities for interpersonal interaction are unbelievably high.
From a practical standpoint, this has a counter-intuitive implication: If your E 2.0 pilot is struggling, don't shut it down. Make it bigger. Open it up. Invite more people. Tell them to invite even more people. That's the only way you're going to find out the real behavior and the real value.

Give them fun, easy ways to start contributing. (My personal favorite is microblogging.) Ease them into deeper forms of collaboration like wiki workspaces. And support those users who come forward with good ideas on how to use the tools.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't have clear business objectives. I'm not saying you shouldn't subject your Enterprise 2.0 implementation to critical evaluation. I'm not saying you shouldn't learn from your users and incorporate those learnings into your plans. Those are all good and important things to do. But you can only do them if you're piloting the tools in a way that you'll really learn from: at enterprise scale.
