Aloha all,

org-publish-validate-link rejects a valid link to a file when the file  
is created during an editing session.

With ./test.org and ./support/test.pdf present at the start of a  
session, the first link in test.org (below) is validated.  When ./ 
support/test-copy.pdf is added during the session, the second link is  
not validated and only the description of the link is output to  
test.html.

----- test.org
* A test
   - link to [[file:support/test.pdf][test.pdf]]
   - link to [[file:support/test-copy.pdf][test-copy.pdf]]
-----

If org-publish-validate-link is not used, then the link is placed  
correctly in the html output.

I have read the org-mode manual, briefly searched the list archive,  
and read the function's documentation string, but didn't find anything  
that might alert me to this behavior.

My expectation was that org-publish-validate-link would understand the  
org-mode publishing process and would validate links in the production  
environment that were correctly established in the publication location.

I'm using Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.89.g0c39) on emacs  
23.

All the best,
Tom
