First, sorry for the late reply. Then to the busines. If the prefix
isn't the same as with bonobo-activation, you can manually register the
.server fiel. At least it worked fine with Evolution, and helped 
a few other Evo users too. So it should work with nautilus too.

Just run this command on a term. And use find to get the path to the
.server file, if you don't know where it is.

bonobo-activation-sysconf --add-directory=<the path to the diretory
containing the server-file>

After that, start nautilus and it should work. I can't remeber did I
have to log out of gnome and back again in the Evolution case, so try
that if it doesn't work straight.
