Howdy,

Well, I hacked together a ``book'' with two chapters included in the root.tex file and used the chapterbib package and the plain bibliographystyle. Compiling with the pdflatexmk engine (you can just substitute the latexmk engine and it will work too) automatically did all the necessary work and the individual bibliographies for each chapter showed up along with the citations.

I don't know if this realistically matches what you are doing so a sample set of files would still be helpful.

Just to be sure... are you using Terminal to compile the document? What editor or front end are you using?

Good Luck,
