When you type loader.exe /index it indexes the files in the directory.
From pg 41 of Deploying_DST_2007_Update

Indexing applications
Indexing scans the shared folders for handheld software packages and
enumerates the details of the packages so they can be easily referenced.
If the applications are not indexed, remote computers will not be able to
find the various handheld software packages.
The two files that are created by indexing are:
Specification.pkg: A directory listing of the current package
(all of the .alx, .cod, OS files) and metadata indicating specific
data about the package (applicable hardware, version
number).
PkgDBCache.xml: Stores the information to present an
application selection screen for the Administrator to pick and
choose applications. It stores all of the application metadata
(display name, version, copyright, file versions, required
package).
When you open a Software Configuration (or choose to create a new
one), the information for the applications that are listed is being pulled
and populated from the PkgDBCache.xml file.
So essentially, you won't see anything happen, but check the directory for your DST files. You should have a new Specification.pkg & PkgDBCache.xml
