Daniel,
Which version of Xcode are you using? In Xcode's more recent releases,
the documentation window uses an entirely different system for finding
the installed documentation--it no longer uses those aliases.
Thanks,

For months now, I have suffered the pain of a several-minutes-long
delay when using Xcode's documentation viewer for the first time after
launching Xcode. This delay is in the form of a total hang of Xcode,
as it chugs away trying to find the documentation requested. I've
gotten used to "doing something else" for several minutes after making
the mistake of trying to look something up in documentation.
I finally looked into this problem more carefully, and determined the
source of the problem: STALE HELP FILE ALIASES!
I am posting this in case anybody else has seen this problem and
hasn't figured it out yet. In your $HOME/Library/Documentation/Help
folder, make sure that all the help aliases in there still point to
legitimate targets. For example, I had aliases from applications I
had tried once and then thrown out. Xcode spends painful minutes
determining that those aliases can no longer be resolved.
