An update, might have a relevant console message here:
5/23/11 2:36:21 PM /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/HelpData.framework/Versions/A/Resources/helpd[7362] MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/TQ/TQyJ+G+jGXSvJlg443gydE+++TI/-Caches-//mds

The problem is localized to my app, though.

For example, I can open the help book, navigate it, and send users to specific pages with context sensitive help and anchors. I can search *within* the help viewer application, get results, and go to those results.

When I click on them the help viewer launches, but it launches to a blank page. Again, if I search for the same term from within the help viewer, I get the correct results and can click on them to be taken to the correct page.

And I've poured over my anchors and metadata tags looking for duplicates and mistakes, but maybe I'm missing something which I'm just not aware of.
