All,
I have been following this documentation;
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Data/Extractfieldsfromfileheadersatindextime
No combination of props.conf settings appears to be working. Here is the data template of the file I am attempting to bring in;
Header1|Header2|Header3|Header4
DataA|DataB|DataC|DataD
My assumed props.conf;
[SourceTypeName]
FIELD_DELIMITER=|
NO_BINARY_CHECK=1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
Any ideas? I can edit the props.conf during the data add "wizard" and it updates the local conf file appropriately, however each event is still shown as a single line without field information;

You don't want to use CHECK_FOR_HEADER in combination with indexed extractions. CHECK_FOR_HEADER is a deprecated technique we used for search-time field extractions.
In props.conf, use:
FIELD_DELIMITER=|
HEADER_FIELD_DELIMITER=|
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=psv
