OK, that was about what I thought. The short answer is, you can't do it with a RunningH/F, as it only picks up the information in the CURRENT file.
If you want to bring the Chapter title over from a previous file, you'll have to edit the master page to use a cross-reference back to the file with the title in it (and set the link color to black so it doesn't look like a link). Then you have to remember that this will need to be redone every time you import page layouts to those files.
