Thanks for the feedback.
I do have a help folder parameter, which does not have this problem.
I'm not indexing though, and haven't found the indexing application.
Where can I get that?

Hmm, one of my apps has a two word name and works correctly with Help.
One difference I have (though you may have just omitted it) is a key
for CFBundleHelpBookFolder. Here's how mine looks:
HTML:
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="Pref Setter Help" />
info.plist:
<key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key>
<string>Pref Setter Help</key>
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>Pref Setter Help</string>
It all works fine on my end, though I'll be honest and say that I
don't remember having tried opening my Help in 10.4.3 (I'm running
10.4.5 currently). I haven't had anybody write in saying that it wasn't
working, either.
Hmm, possibly another difference I have is that my help folder is
localized. I also indexed it with Help Indexer.
