BibDesk (or BibTeX) cannot find new entries into database

[Barry M. Lesht]

Hello.  I'm using BibDesk (v1.6.4 - a very recent update to a long-existing installation) along with TexShop (v3.52) on a Mac Powerbook Pro under OS X10.8.5.  I have been working on a document for several weeks and using the same bib file for several years.  This morning, I entered a new reference into the database.  This is the first use I've made of BibDesk since the update to 1.6.4.  I added a citation to the new reference in the document and compiled it.  For some reason BibTeX cannot find the new reference.  I get the message:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2014)
The top-level auxiliary file: RevisedVerifcationNoteV3a.aux
The style file: model2-names.bst
Database file #1: ./GLReferences.bib
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "AuguEtAl:2014"
(There was 1 warning)

I tried re-entering the new reference into the database, and get the same warning (and changing the cite key).  I next tried substituting an existing reference from the database into the document (citing it instead - and being sure that reference was not cited anywhere else in the document) and it worked fine; the citation appears properly in the document.  I then tried entering a dummy reference into the database and citing it in the document.   This failed with the same warning.

In summary, it appears that:  If I refer to a reference that was in the database before I updated BibDesk, I have no problem.  If I refer to a reference that I added after the update, BibTex can't find it. 

I have no idea what is going on and would appreciate any suggestions or insight.

Thanks.

Make sure the .bib file referenced from TeX is the same one bibdesk is saving?

Perhaps a silly question, but it's happened to me: did you save the .bib file after adding the reference?

Thanks, Ken.  That was exactly the problem.  I posted a follow-up after I discovered that I had messed up.  I appreciate the reply.   Barry

Hi Justin - thanks, yes I did save the .bib file.  It turns out that I had two .bib files with the same name in different directories and had referenced the wrong one in the document.   I posted an update explaining my error.   I appreciate your reply.
