The documentation on this feature is sparse (for the moment). The best descriptions available probably would be embedded in recent tech conference notebooks written by me available on MathSource, although these will be sparse, too, since I wrote them more for an oral presentation. But, in your case, I think the problem may be relatively simple. Any code that you're debugging has to be evaluated while the debugger is turned on. Keeping track of debugging information induces a performance overhead, so debugging information isn't tracked unless you've specifically enabled the debugger and evaluated the code. If you've already evaluated your function definitions, then you can just re-evaluate them after enabling the debugger.
