In my case we have not used any props.conf.
We have a common app, in that app's local directory we define stanzas for CSV files, like how you have done. In lookups directory we have all our CSV files. We use the lookups in other apps. One thing that should do is to push the common app to all the nodes where you need that lookup.
For example: I have commonAPP which contains CSV files. I have idxAPP, shAPP which reside on indexer node and search head node respectively and i want to do lookups in the searches/macros that i have in idxAPP and shAPP then i need to deploy commonAPP to indexer and search head nodes also.
