I see. This is caused by a limitation of  
/usr/local/share/refdb/xsl/citations.xsl. This stylesheet is used to  
extract the citations from the source document and write them into the  
foo.id.xml file. For reasons that I don't quite understand right now,  
the script limits itself to processing book and article elements. As a  
short term fix you could simply extend the regexp in line 39 like this  
(untested!):

         <xsl:template match="article|d:article|chapter|d:chapter">

I'll try to figure out if there was some obscure reason for this  
limitation. If not I'll adapt the stylesheet to the current DocBook V5  
top-level elements.

Markus
