    You'll have to tell us why it fails. What is the error reported in the
    console output - it is most likely a broken link, in which case you
    will
    find more info the broken-links.xml file in the site root.
i get errors like:
    "communication.xml is not a valid XML document"

For Forrest to work it must have a valid XML source document. When running "forrest site" this a validation check is done (it can be done manually by running "forrest validate"). If any problems are found then they are reported.

In "forrest run" these validation checks are not done because files can be edited in real time, and therefreo errors introduced after the initial validation check.

Your XML is clearly well-formed since you say it is working OK in forrest run, however it is not valid according to your chosen DTD.

It is possible to turn off this validation in forrest.properties. However, caution must be taken in this apprach since it will not guarentee acceptable results for all output formats.
