Android Release Version and "Waiting for Debugger"

android release

I know this has been asked before but I still don't have a solution. My first app: developed and debugged on my moto droid and then followed all the release steps, (exported from Eclipse, using my key to sign) including removing the debug in the manifest xml.

I copied the resulting apk to the droid, disconnected the usb and installed it by double clicking on the file using Astro.

I get the "Waiting for Debugger" message like when I am debugging but it never goes away.

Doing something real stupid I know but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom
