Taking you literally in that you want a *file* listing the occurences and not a
typeset page listing the occurrences then you could try using the following in
your document at the places where you currently put \requirementA etc:
\writestatus{RequirementMet}{Requirement A is met in section
\fetchmark[section][current], p. \pagenumber}
This will write the current section title and page number to the console
listing, prefixed by the word "RequirementMet". To produce the file for your
customer all you have to do is filter these lines out of the .log file that is
produced when you compile your book. In Unix-like systems that is a simple:
grep RequirementMet file.log
