I can answer this one, so here goes:

The .bib file looks good in Quicklook because you get syntax coloring  
in the preview; but the really useful thing is to be able to see each  
record. The easiest way to do this is to do a finder search for  
something that you know you have a record for, and then when it comes  
up as a search result, choose Quicklook at the method of viewing the  
results, and you'll get a little note card with some basic bib info on  
it.

If you download the latest release of BD, you should have the  
Quicklook plugin already installed. If you already installed it  
yourself, you have to remove it; Adam M. already gave instructions for  
this a few days ago on the list, and I forget how to do it, but it  
does work, and you have to go back and look there to see what to do.
