Well, if I am allowed to stretch my imagination--the transporter 
requires extremely accurate position information.  It is usually
extremely difficult to even use sensors for this, that is why
communicators were so necessary.  In the Mutara Nebula, sensors
were almost useless, and even visual was extremely unreliable.
Therefore, trying to pinpoint the Genesis device would be next to
impossible.
