That is very useful information, which I was not aware of. Thank you.
Unfortunately, it looks like my problem is a bit more complex than that --
[1] When I Profile using Instruments and try to re-symbolicate, the Binaries tab of the re-symbolicate dialog does not list my application as an option. See https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66770034/Symbolicate-Using-Binaries.png . Clicking Locate does nothing.
[2] Using the Path tab doesn't work, either. If I use your recommendation to open the folder containing the application and its .DSYM data, I can neither select the .dsym object nor drab it to the path panel. See https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66770034/Symbolicate-Using-Path.png .
It's like Instruments (even when run from Xcode via Profile) is completely unable to connect to my application.
I can't shake the notion that I'm doing something either obviously wrong or unbelievable stupid here, but I don't see it. I can see that Instruments would be uninterested in using a dSYM that didn't match up with the application, but not working at all??
Is there any possibility that the problem is related to the space character in my application's name??

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." -Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

“Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure.” - H.L. Mencken, writer, editor, and critic (1880-1956)
