Me too.

I got this fixed at our site over a year ago, and I'm trying to
remember what I did.

It has to do with the way the Xrefs lines work.  Xrefs not only lists
article numbers, but also your machine name; and I think your rn is
thinking that this is not the right machine name so it ignores the
references.

Is that vague enough?  Sorry I can't remember any better.  An extra tip:
I'm quite sure I found the problem using the -D debug mode of rn.
