Thank you so much for your response! Very useful. In between the time of me posting and you responding I found a solution that isn't pretty, but works. I delete /Users/cory/Library/Caches/Quicksilver/Indexes/ QSPresetQSRemoteDesktopPlugIn.qsindex and then the important part is that I REBOOT the machine. I was trying it before and relaunching quicksilver and hitting the rescan button, but somehow the reboot seems necessary. I have done it twice successfully. Now in case it's of use to anyone I'm going to check the ComputerDatabase file like you suggested after adding another host, just to see if it shows up: I just tried it and it does indeed show me the new entry, and it is still not showing up in QS after rescanning. So that's that, it's somehow just not getting around to scanning the ComputerDatabase...
