Gravity Smart not recognized by adb devices command

I'm new to this, so please forgive me if it's a dumb newbie error. I rooted my year-old Samsung Gravity Smart so I could finally get rid of all that bloatware. Now it's time to play around a little. However, when I try to use the adb devices command, it says there aren't any. I did kill-server and start-server, but still nada. Tried adb shell and it also says there's no device to shell to.

I absolutely for sure have the driver for the phone -- when I plug it in and turn on USB debugging, it shows up on my laptop (Windows XP) and I can transfer music files no problem. Also, OneClick root worked perfectly, so clearly my laptop recognizes and talks to my phone via USB.

Am I missing something simple? I hope so, even if it makes me look dumb!

BTW, I have a 32GB SD card, Titanium Pro, and I'll be buying ROM Toolbox Pro tonight.

Thanks for the reply, Nemo. I am running adb from the correct folder for sure (I don't believe adb would work at all if I hadn't pointed to the right directory first). I used the command line prompt, did a few cd's to get into the sdk directory, then typed the adb commands.

To clarify, adb works fine; it simply says there are no devices when I do the "adb devices" command. I tried disconnecting/reconnecting my phone, and I tried setting it to charge only. I verified that my PC sees the phone by transferring a couple of mp3 files back and forth successfully. But adb doesn't know about it for some reason.

My actual path is C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools to get to adb, and that's what I set it to using the DOS prompt before typing the adb commands. Is there some directory-fu I have to do to point adb to my phone for it to be recognized? I thought that if my PC recognized it on the USB port, any application would see it. Is that not the case?
