Trouble with xrefs (sending again with correct subject line!)

I have FM 9.0p255, Windows XP. We are having a problem with cross-references. For some reason, our cross references are adding quote marks around the paratext. Editing the xref definition doesn't work, Importing xrefs from another manual doesn't work. It's just ignoring us. My coworker is
