I'm confused as to what you're trying to do. Are you trying to use Quicksilver's ability to dynamically search the menu bar of an open application as an alternative to mousing through the menu bar? (The menu bar is the grey bar at the top of the screen). If it's this one, then you need to enable a lot of features to get it working: #1, access for assistive devices, #2, the Menu Interface plugin, #3 advanced features, and #4, proxy objects. Then you need to make sure to use the correct actions: "Menu Bar Items..." and "Menu Bar...". These two actions allow you to search through current application's list of menu bar actions. Items... will search all the items, and Menu Bar... will only search the header categories. This was a really cool feature of QS pre-Leopard, but Leopard incorporated the idea into the system itself, and I like Leopard's implementation better. cmd-shift-/ (aka cmd-?) is now a find-as-you-type search bar for menu bar commands, as well as searching help.
Or are you trying to use quicksilver's action "menu", which is not the same thing at all, but rather a menu of quicksilver actions that are available for the object you've selected? If that is the case, why are you using it? That action menu is for use with the mouse, presumably designed to be set up as an Abracadabra trigger (but I've never used that side of things, so I don't really know).
