As opposed to BibTeX, biblatex doesn't necessarily need a bibliography inset (it can output citations without having to output a bibliography, if you use \addbibresource in the preamble or the class file). Currently, we run biber whenever a *.bcf file exists in the tmp dir. This is apparently also the case if there are no citations. So: yes, biber should not only be called when there is a bibliography inset. But still we call it in cases where we shouldn't. I have not idea for a more fine-grained solution ATM. Jürgen
