Is this a document based app?
i had a similar problem in the past with a document based app, i had a menu
item in mainmenu.nib that i could not get to connect to a method using the
first responder.

someone at forums.macnn.com finally informed me i had to add said method to
the the first responders "actions".  in mainmenu.nib double click on the
first responder, that should bring up an info window with 80 some actions.
click "add" at the bottom, and add your method.

that got things working for me, your results may vary

hope that helps
