Is your D200 auto-focus function set to AF-C or manual focusing mode? Flash's AF assist red lights function under AF-S mode only.

More information can be found on page D58 of SB900 manual which states "The AF-Assist Illuminator is available, if an AF lens is mounted and the camera’s focus mode is set to S (Single Servo AF with focus priority), AF-A, or AF."
