I had the same problem with getting help working in a deployed rcp app
on eclipse 3.1, and solved it as follows:
1. Created a config.ini in the configuration directory that included all
bundles used by the base rcp platform, by the help system, and by my
application. Each bundle specified here should have a corresponding
plugin (either source or binary) in the plugins directory of your rcp app.
2. Launched the application with jvm command line switches "-debug -clean"
The first time I did this the rcp app would not start at all (whereas
previously it had started but help didn't do anything). So I examined
the nnnnnnnnnnnnn.log file in the configuration directory and saw that
the help system actually needs one more plugin than stated in the
literature: org.eclipse.ui.forms. Adding this plugin to the rcp app and
to the config.ini file fixed the problem - it started again and help now
worked.
Here is the final bundle list I ended up with:
osgi.bundles = org.eclipse.core.runtime@2:start, \
org.eclipse.osgi, \
org.eclipse.core.commands, \
org.eclipse.core.expressions, \
org.eclipse.help, \
org.eclipse.jface, \
org.eclipse.swt, \
org.eclipse.swt.win32, \
org.eclipse.ui.workbench, \
org.eclipse.ui, \
org.eclipse.ui.forms, \
org.apache.ant, \
org.apache.lucene, \
org.eclipse.help.appserver, \
org.eclipse.help.base, \
org.eclipse.help.ui, \
org.eclipse.help.webapp, \
org.eclipse.tomcat, \
your.plugin.here

Thanks a lot !
It worked fine ! But it seems a little complicated for something that
should be automatically done when exporting...
In fact, after some tests, it seems that it works without editing
config.ini. I only have to add manually in the plugin/ dir the plugins
you listed.
