I can't find anything obviously wrong with your code. Have you added 
some printf()s to verify that you actually get to the code branch that 
creates the menu items?

Otherwise I'd suggest trying to find you menu with the d-feet DBus 
browser like Ted also suggests.

Or if you want to really dig down to the bottom of this you can rip your 
code out in a small stand alone C app that you compile by hand and run. 
You can override quicklists of other processes no problem, so just keep 
using nautilus.desktop as id.

This is spot on, no worries :-)
