While you are short the shares you do not collect dividends and the "owner" can sell his position. Emailed you Chris but the main point is such,

There is no limit to how long you can wait to cover your shorted shares unless you have a margin call from your broker. While you are short the shares you do not collect dividends and the “owner” can sell his position.

Or is there any way teh shares can be called requiring you to buy before you want to? Seems a bit strange that someone would loan you shares forever while you wait for them to go down.

You do not receive interest on the cash. When the short is covered, cash decreases and the shares are returned. The proceeds received on the short are protected via the SPIC.

Do you earn interest? Do you control whether it goes into a money market or cash, etc? Are you at risk for the money Ameritrade paid you if Ameritrade goes bankrupt? i.e. is the money from shorts also covered by SIPC, and is this investment money not mingled with Ameritrade's money?
