[OT] Finder's "Open With" menu

Hi there, this is slightly off-topic, but development related nonetheless.

For some reason I cannot make my applications appear in Finder's Open With menu. I can select Other... and choose my application (so the document type settings in the Info.plist seems to be correct), but even after this, the choice of my application is not present in the menu the next time I open it.

I have moved my application to /Applications and restarted the machine, but this have not helped (and it would seem that Finder does cache open applications, as I get e.g. World Text as an option for text files, which is in a /Developer sub directory).

Does anyone know if there is a cache that I need to delete or if I need to provide other information in my Info.plist than what can be edited in Xcode's Document Types? For the records, I currently have this in my Info.plist:

CFBundleDocumentTypes = (
{
CFBundleTypeExtensions = ("*");
CFBundleTypeMIMETypes = ("text/*");
CFBundleTypeName = NSFilenamesPboardType;
CFBundleTypeOSTypes = ("****");
CFBundleTypeRole = Editor;
},
{
CFBundleTypeExtensions = ("html,", htm);
CFBundleTypeMIMETypes = ("text/html");
CFBundleTypeName = "HTML document";
CFBundleTypeOSTypes = (HTML);
CFBundleTypeRole = Editor;
},
{
CFBundleTypeExtensions = ("txt,", text);
CFBundleTypeMIMETypes = ("text/plain");
CFBundleTypeName = "Plain text document";
CFBundleTypeOSTypes = (TEXT);
CFBundleTypeRole = Editor;
}
);

I have also provided my Info.plist with a (unique) CFBundleIdentifier and a CFBundleSignature (and provided the various version strings).

What could I possibly be missing?
