Sounds like you are doing this correctly but are you sure user context in
which the search is occurring has rights to read documents in the remote
volume? Are you also sure that the account to specified as the access
context for the virtual directory has at least read rights? How big is the
catalog?

Also, have you installed the gateway services?

Don't hate the player, hate the play...
