Thanks.
One thing I found out after 6 more hours... I was not forming my URL correctly when I typed part of it out by hand. <shoots self in head with finger>
@"file://localhost/Volumes/..." instead of "@"file://Volumes/..."
Somehow I didn't think that "localhost" was in the path for URLs on network volumes, I usually Applescript and use Posix paths that start with "/Volumes/..."

Previously I had assumed that in general, QL stores a file preview inside of the actual file, like metadata, and calling a QL panel will simply fetch and display the image from inside a file. But I'll guess that I'm wrong, and in any application, the QL generator has to generate a preview "on-the-fly" and display that. So there's not a "static" generated QL image for any file on any drive. Can someone confirm that for me?
Yep.

It appears to only be saving a 48x48 icon. Or does the QL panel some override a small icon preview and do that call transparently?
Er, if you don't want an icon preview, don't pass the IconMode key in the options dictionary.
