The shelf itself isn't a 'folder' as such that can store things. That would
be a... well: folder!

A description of the shelf from Howard's manual (p. 106)

The shelf is a place for long term storage frequently used items. It’s like
the Clipboard Storage, but it lasts across Quicksilver sessions. People use
it for: email addresses, images, code fragments and templates, favorite hex
colors, lo- rem ipsum text, passwords (though this isn’t secure), etc.. You
can also put documents, folders and, applications on it and treat it like an
alternate Dock.

As for not being able to find things like iPhoto - make sure it's indexed in
your catalog under the catalog preferences.
Hopefully you can get it working :)
