Hi Galen Sphinx is fine with one record or one million, so that shouldn't be the problem. For some reason though, it's not picking up the fact that you've indexed the model.
If you fire up script/console and invoke the model itself, are there any errors? Because if Rails (and thus Thinking Sphinx) can't load the model, that'd be why it's not indexing (and if it's not indexing, it's not going to start the daemon either). You don't need to run the tasks with sudo either - best not to, to avoid any permissions issues.
