It seems oaf is not finding any plugins.  Try this:

$ oaf-run-query "repo_ids.has ('IDL:Bonobo/PropertyBag:1.0') AND gide:shell_component == 'true'"

This should give you a bunch of result lines (currently 25 in my system).  If it doesn't, make sure you are not running any oaf/bonobo application (evolution, nautilus, etc.) and run oaf-slay.

Then set the environment var OAF_INFO_PATH to /usr/local/share/oaf and run the query again to make sure it works.

Hope this helps.
