actually, no.  bibtex is terribly literal about this:

  bibtex thing

processes thing.aux

  bibtex thing.aux

processes thing.aux.aux -- something which typically doesn't exist.

was it saying it couldnt find a file?

i would guess that removing ".aux" at the end of that line would do
the business.

(but i don't currently have a y&y installation so i can't test it.)
