Do you mean updating from showing success to failure, or so?

This is interesting as it shows that the current approach has some 
limitations. Currently, the main LaTeX file is copied to a temporary directory 
and then LaTeX is run in that temporary directory with TEXINPUTS pointing to 
the old directory first. But somehow it then can't seem to resolve relative 
paths properly.

So, maybe it's better to run LaTeX in the original directory and instruct it 
to output all the generated files to the temporary directory? I just hope that 
this is also possible with other tools like 'bibtex' or 'makeindex'.

I'll have to investigate further... :)

Thanks,

Michel
