NSComboBox not returning correct data

Question

I'm adding strings to a NSComboBox using -addItemObjectWithValue, and the items are appearing when the application is run.

However, right after adding the items, if I check the -numberOfItems, I get 1, even though there are more than that. From there, any data I try I pull back out is wrong.

I'm adding the items as part of -awakeFromNib.

I'm pretty sure it's wired correctly (the controller is a NSWindowController, I don't think this matters though?), and it's not set to use a DataSource, or AutoComplete, or anything funky.

I have the same issue. Code is:

- (void)authorListInit

{
    NSError * error = nil;
    NSString * saveDir = [[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@/Documents/Books",NSHomeDirectory()] autorelease];
    NSArray * authorsList = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:saveDir error:&error];
    [AuthorNameList addItemsWithObjectValues:authorsList];
    int num = [AuthorNameList numberOfItems];
    NSLog(@"%i of items, originally %i",num,[authorsList count]);
    for(NSString * name in [AuthorNameList objectValues]) {
        NSLog(@"Name : %@",name);
    }
}

AuthorNameList is the instance of NSComboBox

Output is:
