I also have mixed success with triggers.
Here is some info for the Quicksilver developers that I hope will help
them fix the triggers bug.
Case 1 works, case 2 fails:

1. I can create a new trigger that opens a text file that lives on my
Desktop "Open filename.txt", it is saved to triggers and stays there
on subsequent Quicksilver relaunches.

2. However, when I create a new trigger that opens a text file in the /
Applications subpath "Open filename2.txt" it works until I relaunch
Quicksilver, and then the trigger entry shows up as "Open (null)" and
does not respond to the trigger.

After case 2, I inspected the ~Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
Triggers.plist entries and verified the "/Applications/filename2.txt"
path string exists in the command/directID of one of the entries.  For
some reason it is not getting read back in correctly or used correctly
by Quicksilver since it lives in the /Applications directory.  As I
stated, a file that lives on the Desktop is treated correctly on
relaunch.

Thanks for taking a look at it!
