Confirmed, thanks. Removing the # from the directory name cured the
problem.

I submitted it as a bug to ximian, but it's been marked as a bug in
Gnome-VFS rather than a problem in monodevelop itself. No word on when
it'll be fixed.

So, warning to all: don't use # characters in names of directories
containing monodevelop projects...
