Hmm, it works here with standard book. What happens if you use
\renewenvironment{itemize}{%
\begin{list}{$\bullet$}{%
\settowidth{\labelwidth}{$\bullet$}%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
}%
}{\end{list}}
An alternative could be the paralist package (but I don't really know it).
Can you send me an example doc privately if it still fails?
