"Thank you" = "I appreciate what you did for me, because it may have required an expense of time, energy, or other resource."

"No problem" = "You do not need to be concerned about the resources i may have had to expend for you; it was not a problem to accomplish the task."

edit: that said I think "dont mention it" is a great one, if only it were a bit more casual
