why files ? the wine dlls or your own dlls ? if would be more helpful if
you post all the information spat out by the debugger

normally, winedbg searches for debug files either in
- absolute names
- relative to PATH, _NT_SYMBOL_PATH, _NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH environment
variables

you can try to run with -debugmsg +file to see what goes wrong

function names can come from wine builtin DLLs and exported function
names from native DLLs, so it may occur they are correct

A+
