The targetdoc value in both a document's olink element and in the database document element is just an identifier name, not a filename. Those identifiers must match, and they will when you remove the ".xml" from the targetdoc value in the database file. There is a good reason why targetdoc is not a filename, and that is because filenames can be changed without having to rewrite dozens of olinks embedded in files.
