Several thoughts:

1) When Google visits your site, it does so as an unregistered user. Unless you have enabled the Jukebox for unregistered users, the links will not be there for Google to see.

2) Each LDM page includes a meta tag of the form:

<meta name="robots" content="index, nofollow" />

This tells Google to index the content of the page but not to follow any urls on the page. This was done for a reason (although I can't quite recall what the reason was - I think we wanted to stop Google accessing the actual files). You can change this on the LDM settings page with the robots_meta_tag setting, try "index, follow".

3) Does Google actually index urls with long "?action=xxx..." params? Do you need a search engine optimiser? (I don't know)
