I'm submitting this code for anyone who needs a quick hack to get Quick Look 
working.  It's a hack because it's using AppleScript and the Quick Look Server 
debug and management tool.  If you send an array of paths this will bring them 
up in a Quick Look window.

I don't think the Quick Look documentation is as robust as it can be, I'm still 
trying to figure out how to do the same thing the right way. 

- (void)quickLook:(NSArray *)srcPathArray {
        
        //build the paths string
        NSString *paths = @"";
        for (NSString *thisPath in srcPathArray) {
                
                NSString *s = @"";
                if ([paths length] == 0) {
                        s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"(quoted form of (POSIX 
path of \"%...@\"))", thisPath];
                } else {
                        s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@" & \" \" & (quoted 
form of (POSIX path of \"%...@\"))", thisPath];
                }
                paths = [paths stringByAppendingString:s];
        }
        
        
        NSAppleScript *quickLook = nil;
        // do shell script ("qlmanage -p " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of 
srcPath)))
        NSString *command = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"do shell script 
(\"qlmanage -p \" & %@)",paths];
        quickLook = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:command];
        [quickLook executeAndReturnError:nil];
