My problem was related to migrating an older project to Quartus-II v9.1. The original project was generated with the NIOS-II IDE environment and I was opening it with NIOS-II Eclipse SBT.

To resolve the problem I rebuilt the entire project from scratch using the Eclipse SBT (manually created a new project with the same settings as the old), copied over all the source files, rebuilt the BSP project and then recompiled everything. Once I did this, my debugger problems resolved and I was able to launch a debug session.

There may be more elegant methods of doing this but the above worked for me.
