If the links all work as expected in Windows, the first thing to check is 
the consistency of case in file names.
This is not an issue in Windows, but file names in Linux are case-sensitive.

Other than inconsistency between the case use in the hypertext marker vs. 
the file name as exists in the OS (which would not be a problem under 
Windows), I encountered situations in the past where problems were related 
to the case of the file names being changed in the process of the file 
transfer (but file names as present internally in FrameMaker's hypertext 
markers were not affected).
