That should all work fine.  Sounds like you did something
to the .hhp that makes it not find all the files it should.
Try deleting it and have Mif2Go recreate it for you, by
rerunning the book.

As a diagnostic, you should see a .bhc file for each chapter
file, and all the chapter file names should be in the .lst
file.  Make sure you have [MSHtmlHelpOptions]RefFileType=Body
not Full; see User's Guide par. 8.8.1, "Choosing how to generate 
HTML Help contents and index".  Missetting that would make a .hhc
that has only the contents of the last file run.

HTH!
