I'm not sure what you mean by "reflecting" here (my english may be
not good enough) ?

If you expected that the missing options magically appear in your
context menu after Nautilus-Actions installation.. Bad luck!
Nautilus-Actions is just a tool which let you add your own actions
to the Nautilus context menu. It doesn't bring any action by its own.

In order the nautilus you have compiled yourself take into
account the Nautilus-Actions actions, you have to provide it
with the N-A plugins. Just install them in
<libdir>/nautilus/extensions-x.y (not remember the exact x.y
for nautilus 2.30.1). You may just copy those of your os-provided
nautilus, or recompile Nautilus-Actions if the versions are too
different.

Hope that helps.
