Vim does have the files open, but there are several Vim instances open,
each with several files. I didn't think it was unusual to have several
editors open, each editing multi-file LaTeX documents, but I believe the
solution you propose would resolve the issue (having %output be the PDF
file's full path).
Thanks!
