Hmm, my office machine was the guinea pig and worked fine.

Now at home, after rebuilding twice and rebooting, I still get no results.
Checked Spotlight preferences; things seem fine there.

Any ideas?

Try that:
Launch Entourage and leave the Mac for some time and check again.
Spotlight needs some idle time to scan folders and import the new data.

This was reported by another user:

I had to restart the mac to kick things off ­ it sat for a couple of hours
doing nothing before then. Immediately after a reboot it started indexing
immediately.

Sorry, I did not see you had rebooted.
