I don't really want to be sending apple events to the finder since this is a background app, and it could be calling it fairly frequently, and I believe this can impact the user's foreground use of Finder.
Does anybody know what the issue is? Mostly the synchronization between Finder Comments and spotlight seems instantaneous, but then on this occasion they seemed to refuse to sync.

You should be sending an Apple event to the Finder:
