new index, catalog empty

I have created a FT Index on a varchar(200) col of my 'movies' table.
The table has about 2000 rows, so there is lots to index.
But even after forcing a catalog rebuild and full population, the catalog
remains empty.
(item count 0, unique key count 1, etc..)
Any ideas ?
Any error messages in the event log from MSSearch or MSSCI?

|||I assume you are telling me the contents of the log directory. I want you to
look in the application log. At a command prompt type eventvwr, hit enter,
and drill down on application log. Look for messages from mssci, or mssearch
and post them back here.
