The first place BibDesk looks is the relative path form the database to the
linked file. So when this is broken, you must have moved either the database or
the linked files since the last time you saved the database.
I wouldn't know how to fix this.
You may want to use Adam Maxwell's python script
http://homepage.mac.com/amaxwell/.cv/amaxwell/Sites/.Public/read_bdsk_file.py-zip.zip
to figure out precisely which relative path was saved for some linked files.
