What does this error mean in the XCode debugger? How do I solve it?

I've just upgraded to XCode 1.5, but haven't used the debugger for ages before this. Anyhow, when debugging, I now get the error "No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command."

I'm using the default "Development" build style settings.

... and then I did a "Clean All" and then build and debug again, and now the error is:

No source file named <name_of_my_source_file>.m

The source file name is correct, and does exist in the project.

Do you have debug symbols turned on (in the compiler settings)?

Yes, I do.

Looking around, and checking the debugger console, I think it may be because my project (and therefore several directory/file names) has a "!" in it's name.

Nope, it's not that. I just created a new document based project called "Blah!", and was able to debug it fine (stopped at breakpoint).

Any other ideas?
