There is certainly a way. First it depends on what really happened. If everything remained really the same, then this problem should not occur.
Perhaps the old pdf repository has been moved to the trash, which perhaps may cause this problem. Then AFAIK resetting the preferences of the pdf repository may help. Then, if all this does not help, with some AppleScripting it should be possible to fix the links. However, that depends also on the naming rules. Previous discussions on this topic may already offer a solution (notably Bibdesk-users forum, 17.Jan.2010: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4C44489C-36A5-4A3B-9EED-6217FF59E6E3%40gmail.com&forum_name=bibdesk-users). Please search for those and check out the AppleScript I have provided. I am happy to provide my latest script on this, if above link does not help you already.
