Try killing Quicksilver's cache (~/Library/Application Support/Caches/
Quicksilver, ~ means your user home directory). IIRC It should perform
a complete reindex of the catalog on next launch and the entries
should have disappeared.
It's completely possible that this could happen if you have nested
subfolders inside your dropbox, since Unix permissions aren't
recursively applied. This means that your "drop box" item, even if
unlistable, can be traversed given you know the name of some file
inside it. I just noticed this is the exact thing Rob explained,
quoting him :
I'm a Unix nerd, so I don't use the Finder to set permissions and
wasn't sure what it was actually doing. After looking at it, the
"drop box" option seems to remove read permission, but leave write
and execute permission. Without the execute permission, you wouldn't
be able to drop files there.
Removing read permission prevents you from listing the contents of
the directory, but you can still open a file in that directory if
you have the correct permissions on the file itself, and you already
know it's name/location.
If you want to prevent complete access, remove the execute privilege
on the folder, that will prevent access to the list of entries in the
folder, thus preventing reads and writes, but will "break" the Drop
Box thing...
