Are you sure, you try to access them on the "getObject()" result.
This is your true object, it should have the attributes
(if it is of the expected type).

The basic search hit (the catalog search returns a sequence of them),
on the other hand, only has attributes corresponding to
the "Metadata" defined for the catalog.

See the "Metadata" tab of "portal_catalog".
