Why does "???" replace some values in this p2pool output?

There is no miner attached to the pool, "0H/s" means zero hashes per second. And since no hashing is being performed the dead on arrival and time to share cannot be calculated, and thus are unknown.

2013-07-09 00:46:43.468000 Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: ??? Efficiency: ??? Current payout: 0.0000 BTC

Since mining is not occurring, the stale rate and the efficiency cannot be calculated, and thus are unknown.

You need to attach a miner to the p2pool to actually mine BitCoins. Try something like GUIMiner.
