I think Snow Leopard defaults to the 32-bit kernel.
Which method did you use to enable the 64-bit kernel?
When you reboot the computer, hold down the '4' & '6' keys until the computer boots up. The first time you do it, it takes longer than usual to boot up. Then you have to follow these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773

You only have to edit Terminal once. After that you can switch between 32 bit & 64 bit simply pressing down the '3' & '2' or '6' & '4' keys while booting up.

The only issue I had was that image file icons stopped showing the previews - I had to hit the space bar to see the image preview.
