This is one of the issues that seems could use more flexibility. In this case (and I expect most cases) the root for linked files should be a property of the book, not GC itself, because the documents go with the book and different books almost certainly have disjoint sets of documents, i.e., different roots for linked files. I hope someone with better knowledge of the GC code base than me can propose a patch to introduce a document link as a book-specific property. In the meantime, you can always reset the document root whenever you switch books. If you really need to fix up an existing book, you can edit the paths in the xml file, but be sure you know what you are doing.
