I just realized that the @STRING declarations in my bibfile are not
exported to the subdatabase generated with JabRef based on an AUX file,
which results in an invalid subdatabase.

The corresponding command line command is
jabref --nogui --aux=report.aux,report.bib literature.bib
where report.bib is a subdatabase of literature.bib

Searching for this issue I discovered the JabRef bug report with ID
2357299 from 2008-11-28:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2357299&group_id=92314&atid=600306


It seems that this old bug report has been overlooked until now, because
the problem still persists with the current version 2.8 of JabRef. I
would appreciate if this could be fixed, because it makes the
subdatabase functionality useless when working with strings.

A rapid solution would be to just copy all of the strings to the
subdatabase, ignoring for the moment that not all of them might be used
therein; but at least the resulting subdatabase would then be valid.

Thanks a lot to the developers!
