Hi Larry...

1) It's hard to say without seeing the files. I would try trimming the project down to a minimal set of files and testing with that, then adding more to see where it starts to break.

2) Yes .. the FM8 DITA map-to-book process is fairly restrictive in the allowable directory structure both for the source files and where you create the book. In general (for both the FM-based processes as well as any OT processing), you should keep the map file "above" or at the same level as any referenced files (this includes graphics). When generating the FM book, the most reliable location for this would be in the same folder as the map file.

Note that DITA-FMx has fixed most of these book-building issues and allows for greater flexibility in the location that the book file can be created.

Cheers,

...scott
