The quick and dirty way to fix this would be to quit QS and then trash the file ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Catalog.plist. This will reset your catalogue back to default the next time your start QS. You'll have to set up your custom configurations again, but it should work.
Oftentimes weird catalogue errors come from having infinite depth catalogue entries. It can sometime happen that buried somewhere in the depths of a folder is an alias that points to a higher level in its own hierarchy, creating a loop. If this happens, QS ends up looping infinitely through the hierarchy in its catalogue, using up memory and increasing the likelihood of weird errors. Howard Melman generally suggests a catalogue of around 5000 items. Mine is probably closer to 10,000 and works just fine. But in my early days with QS I had some infinite depth entries that added hordes of useless entries and really slowed QS down.
