Without knowing more about your application it's difficult to know what 
might be causing the problem, If you debug 
org.eclipse.help.internal.base.remote.RemoteTocProvider.getTocContributions(String) 
you will probably be able to figure it out. One possibility is that in 
your application the help system is running in infocenter mode, which 
does not support remote help in Eclipse 3.4 (that restriction has been 
lifted in Eclipse 3.5). Another is that pluginCustomization.ini is not 
being read and you would need to change the config.ini file.
