Hi THomas,

org-publish-validate-link validate links to files that show up in the  
list
`org-publish-files-alist'.  THis list contains all file names that are  
considered part of a project and should be published.  It is updated  
each time you issue
a command to publish a project.

Are you sure that you are republishing the document that should  
contain the link?  If that document has not changed, it will not  
republish it, so the ink will also not be fixed.

You can force republishing by calling your publish command with a C-u  
prefix.  Have you tried that?

- Carsten
