Me (Melinda):

I suspect it has to do with the way the spell works - only the secret 
keeper, or someone else who has been told by the secret keeper can 
find them.  That might be fine if they want to hide from everyone 
forever - but they don't; they just want to hide from Voldemort.  If 
Sirius is James' secret keeper, only Sirius can tell DD where they 
are.  But if Sirius' location is being kept secret as well, how can 
Sirius tell DD?  If James is his secret keeper, DD (or anybody else, 
for that matter) can't find either of them - they can only find each 
other!
