I haven't done that sort of thing in some years, but it used to be that if you defined cross-references between .fm files in different directories, all the files had to be open when you saved a book as PDF.
Also, the PDFs have to have the same relative directory relationship. If you have ./foo/foo.book and ./bar/bar.book, links in foo.pdf will be to ../bar/bar.pdf. If BEGIN_HERE.pdf is generated from an .fm file instead of a .book, that might be a problem.
