I use TextWrangler and I have no problems.

Sometimes KindleGen can be picky over the stupidest things. Do you have the text encoding set to UTF-8 with Unix LF endings (and also have "use typographer's quotes" turned off)?

Alternatively, your files don't happen to be in a folder path that includes an # character anywhere in the path name, does it? I've found that KindleGen will completely ignore my NCX and other stuff without giving a warning if I have my files in something like, say "Blahblah series/#1 FirstBook" before compiling.
