   Forgot to mention in my previous post I tried it on Windows XP, not 
Ubuntu.

   Also, I just tried it some more this morning including trying to fool 
around with the BuildDir options but all paths kepts getting detected 
consistently.

   I did find a bug in doxygen.jam in case you specify an absolute build 
dir and posted a patch for it but that does not seem to be related to 
your problem.

   I also found a potential bug with some doxygen.xml.path xslt 
parameter construction which was getting constructed using internal 
Boost Build path format and not the native OS path format and was not 
getting quoted so would not work correctly in case the path contained 
spaces. The same patch adds several more quotes to the quickbook.jam & 
doxygen.jam modules to give them more chance to work correctly with 
paths containing spaces.

   Hope this helps.
