Well, I reproduced exactly this error on the first try.  Then I noticed that I
typed the file name wrong for the book text file.  When I typed it correctly,
the book built without a hitch.  I used the RJF60.PGN that comes with winboard
to test the build.

I assume that an incorrect filename is not the problem you are having.  How
large is the PGN file you are trying to build from?  Can I download the PGN file
you tried somewhere (assuming it is not prohibitively large)?
