Couldn't open <filename>

[Rick Spiegel]

We are using FrameMaker 7.1, unstructured.

I am encountering the following problem with files translated into 
Japanese from English.

When I try to update the book containing the files, I get the following 
message in the Book Error Log window: "FrameMaker did not update the 
generated files because of errors such as: Couldn't open 
metadata-cache.fm." I also get the dialog that says: "FrameMaker did not 
update the generated files in 'help.book' because of errors during the 
update process."

If I go to the book file and double click the file in question, it opens 
perfectly, with no unresolved cross-reference or unavailable font messages 
or any messages at all.

If I close the file, however, and try to update the book again, I get the 
same error messages as before. And the file is definitely writable. And by 
the way, if I leave the file open and then try to update the book, I get 
the same messages pointing at a different file. And I also get the same 
result if I open, save, and close all the files in the book and try to 
update again.

Has anyone else ever seen this behavior and, more importantly, does anyone 
have a solution to suggest? 

Thanks,
Rick Spiegel
