Yes there is a delay between listing and being in the search index (normally up to a week) - the search runs on a database created during the RDF creation, there have been problems for the last few months, but it seems to be working weekly again now.

Searching for your url will almost never work in the form www.mysite.com - try searching for mysite.com . Also it is not a site driven search, but a category driven one (the search should point you to categories, moreso than individual sites).

It's up to Google when they take the RDF and recreate their directory, the search engine side of Google does crawl the ODP so the site should be found by googlebot on it's next crawl after the site was added.
