Xref page numbering not correct

Hi Steve...

Hmm .. check to see where the @hrefs are pointing .. do they reference 
the generated FM files or do they reference the source DITA topics? They 
should be referencing the generated FM files (so the links work in the 
PDF and the page numbers are correct). At one point FM-DITA had a 
problem with this (leaving the @hrefs pointing at the DITA topics), but 
I thought this had been fixed. Have you applied the two FM10 updates?
