OK, "no results" sounds like a different thing than "I can't search for
umlauts."

If you don't get any results, have you tried checking the following?
1) Do the databases exist and look like they have a reasonable amount of
data?
2) Have you tried running htsearch from the command-line?
3) What sorts of queries are you using? Have you tried standard queries
w/o accents?

If you're using this in a relatively production-level environment and
don't have much need for the features in the 3.2 beta code, then I would
suggest using 3.1.5.

You don't need to manipulate the .aff files. They're used by the htfuzzy
endings algorithm and once the endings database is generated, they aren't
really needed anymore.
