CCSprite spriteWithFile: returning a nil object

After creating a CCSprite, I am adding it to a layer with this code:

CCSprite *bg1 = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"menuback1.png"];
bg1.anchorPoint = ccp(0, 0);
bg1.position = ccp(0, 0);
[self addChild:bg1 z:0];

When the program runs, I get this error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Argument must be non-nil'

After setting a breakpoint near here and checking the value of bg1, I indeed find it to be nil. menuback1.png does exist in the resources folder. I am using cocos2d 2.0 rc0a.

The problem is that the file is not found. Can you navigate to the built products directory and confirm that the file exists? If not, try deleting and re-adding the file.
