/CHM command line option doesn't always work

The chm help file specified when using the Tools compile method works fine. But when I specify the chm when compiling from the command line I have problems. I'm trying to link my PureGDK libraries with PureGDK.chm. This is similar to what happened to most of my libraries that were compiled using the command line.
Instead of loading the proper page when I use F1 for a command it loads this:

Sorry, i can´t reproduce it here.
If you could PM me a snippet, the commandline you TailBite´d with and the help file, i could investigate in this

I haven't had a chance to really explore this one yet but it's on my to-do list.

I'm not sure what to do about this one. Sometimes certain commands within the same library won't work with F1. When I try to bring up help for the command nothing happens-- no help file or anything displays.
I recompiled a library from the IDE, restarted the compiler, and the problem persisted. I compiled from the IDE and hit cancel (to delete the library) and recompiled from the IDE again and F1 worked. I recompiled from the command line and it was fine and now I can't reproduce the error for this library but it still appears for others.
I don't know how to replicate this bug. It just happens.

I deleted all of the Tailbite libraries and rebuilt them from the IDE manually. A lot of the commands are still broken and do not open the help file when I use F1 on the command.

Could you test with the new TailBite version i just uploaded ?
[36] APR 24th 2008 TailBite v1.3 PR 1.874
- added check for correct subsystem (reported by mistrel)
If it does not fix your problem i still need the TailBite logfile.
Its located in the temp-folder i.e. :
c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Klaus\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\TailBite_Logfile.txt

I recompiled all of my libraries from the command line and F1 seems to be working with the new TailBite version. What was the problem?

Nope. Everything broke again after another recompile I did today. I've sent the log file by PM of a library which does not work with F1.
In this library F1 will bring up the mouse hourglass and then nothing happens.
