Same here. I use Xubuntu 7.04 on Athlon64X2 and "beagled-helper" i constantly using 100% of cpu time.
I think that it is even not indexing anything, since HD use is low or nonexistent.

I need to "kill -9" all beagle processes to stop it using 100% of cpu (and it makes biger power consuption,
since cpu as a whole cant lower its frequency. (I my case from 1900Mhz to 1000Mhz) as seen on pictures.

if you are using 0.2.14+, then you can send
$kill -SIGUSR2 `pidof beagled-helper`
which will print the name of the file beagled-helper is stuck at in the log file ~/.beagle/Log/current-IndexHelper
(from http://beagle-project.org/Troubleshooting_CPU)
