I’ve looked at the source a bit. There’s no guarantee that the code we have is
the code used to build the plug-in, but let’s assume it is.
The way the Remote Desktop plug-in is written, when Quicksilver asks if it’s
catalog entries are valid it says “yes” unconditionally. In other words, the
entry never gets rescanned automatically. The exceptions are when the plug-in
loads for the first time, and when you manually ask it to rescan, so you should
be seeing updates at this point.
The plug-in appears to be looking in Remote Desktop’s preferences file for a
section called ComputerDatabase. I’m wondering if you’ve upgraded Remote
Desktop at some point and it no longer stores information there. (I don’t have
it myself.)
Run this command in Terminal and see if everything you care about shows up:
defaults read com.apple.RemoteDesktop ComputerDatabase
If it doesn’t, the information is probably being stored elsewhere and the
plug-in needs to be updated. If it does, I don’t know. Maybe try quitting
Quicksilver, moving `~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver` out of the way
(or deleting it) and restarting QS?
