Yep, most definitely a KDEDIRS issue. From where do you launch KDevelop - do 
you launch it from the konsole where you ran kbuildsycoca4 from?

Try fiddling with KDEDIRS and run the following to make sure the plugins are 
found:

ktraderclient --servicetype KDevelop/Plugin

If that works, running KDevelop from that konsole should work as well.

Note: If you want to run through the Menu and/or KRunner, you have to set 
things up in time. E.g. by putting a proper "export KDEDIRS=..." script into 
~/.kde/env or similar.
