OK, I can now answer my own question. This is a quirk in VS.NET. When my references were broken (i.e. not pointing to the correct location), instead of doing a remove, and then an add reference, I just added over the top and it replaced the previous one. If you do this, VS.NET doesn't fix the hint path. Somehow, VS.NET still references the correct place, but the hintpath doesn't; and I assume that is what slingshot and <solution> are using to create their references.

Well, I figured out why slingshot and <solution> are mucking up my references. They use the HintPath which is in the *.csproj file. For some reason, mine are inconsistent. If I open the csproj files in VS.NET, all of the references are pointed correctly. But if I open it in notepad, the HintPath is incorrect (in some but not in others). Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks - Eric

i'm not clear on this conversation...
i've mucked in slingshot 2 months ago (or so), changing how it handled
references. btw, slingshot is deprecated in favour of the <solution>
task.
external references get copied to the build directory when they are
marked "copy local" in vss. in the .csproj file, that corresponds to
<references><reference Private="True" /></references>.
i'm not even sure i'm addressing your question. an actual set of files
( a .??proj and the matching *.build file, as well as the command line
or task to invoke it would help understand).
also, again not sure i'm helping here, there's a replacerefs
attribute/commandline param i added to slingshot.
read up on it there:
