By default Quicksilver does not add the contents of secondary drives to the catalogue. However, if one manually adds a catalogue source to the custom sources that includes some of the contents of a secondary drive, it will be included in all searches. Also, if there is an alias in one of the folders in your catalogue that points to a folder on the external drive, Quicksilver will follow that alias and add the contents if finds there to your catalogue. Finally, telling Quicksilver to Find all Applications in the Applications section of the catalogue will cause it to add all the applications it finds anywhere (including external drives) into the catalogue.
Check through your catalogue and see which of these conditions applies to your case. To make things faster for yourself, you can use the Show Source in Catalog action to quickly show you where in Quicksilver's catalogue any particular file is indexed. Bring up a file in Quicksilver that you know is a duplicate from on the secondary drive and run the action. This will show you the particular catalogue entry by which the unwanted files are sneaking in. Edit that entry as appropriate and re-scan, and the files should disappear from your catalogue.
