XCode file paths point to nonexistent directories

Right now I'm running XCode 3.2.6. I'm working off of someone else's code, and when I open the project it around 150 files have the wrong path (even when set to "relative to enclosing group."

Instead of using /appname/folder the point to /../../Documents/appname/folder.

I'm aware that some other people have had similar issues with XCode 3.2 in the past, which is why I'm upgrading to Lion now so I can use 4.0. However, has anyone found a fix for this in 3.2?

Also, I was wondering if there was a file that held all of the paths so I could run a script through it?

Thanks

You will notice that the .xcodeproj file itself is actually a Bundle (a.k.a. a directory). If you cd to this directory in Terminal, you can use grep to figure out which files contain the paths using grep -r -i "path here". These files are formatted in XML and some other similar format, so it should be pretty easy to use sed or something to fix some of the paths. And of course, I ALWAYS suggest backing up any files before you autonomously replace stuff in them.
