Ah, then I don't know. If you're creating chapters separately and then combining them into a book, that might be part of the problem.
You could try creating the chapters as submaps and then place them in an uber map. That's what we do (we're still using FM 9, btw). When you save the uber ditamap as an FM book with FM components, it creates a books file, and the submaps are converted to chapters within the book.
