I have a folder with the following permissions. - me : write only (drop box) - staff : write only (drop box) - others : access forbidden This folder is not shared, and is locked.

Moreover, I can read or open these files through Quicksilver even if I don't have permission. Is there a problem with access permissions in Quicksilver ?
Applications can't just ignore permissions (due to a bug or any other reason). That wouldn't be a very good security system at all.
Quicksilver runs as a user. If that user can access something, so can QS and vice-versa. Also, Quicksilver doesn't directly open most files. It tells another application to open them (or tells the Finder, perhaps, which then tells the application), so if you're able to open the files, it's more than just QS that has access.
I have to think you have access to these files somehow. Is it possible Quicksilver indexed the files before you changed the access? If so, you should be able to bring up QS and hit ⌘R to have it re-index everything.
Perhaps you could open a Terminal window and run `ls -le /path/to/ folder` and send us the output?
