I have the same issue now and did not figure out yet why.
My environment variables are:

export KDEDIR=/home/dh/kde/run/kde4
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export QTDIR=/home/dh/kde/qt-copy

export KDEHOME=/home/dh/.kde-devel/kde4
export KDETMP=/tmp/kde4-dh
export KDEVARTMP=/var/tmp/kde4-dh
export KDESYCOCA=$KDEVARTMP/ksycoca

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$QTDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

unset XDG_DATA_DIRS
unset XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

I can run apps like konqueror/dolphin. I've done a clean build and ran 
kbuildsycoca4. It still does not work.

Thanks for any pointers :)
