Could you please post a minimal example! I've never worked with
hyperref and I wouldn't like to read the whole manual, just for that
bug. My minimal example looks like:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
%\hyperlink{test.tex}{test}
\hyperlink{manual.pdf}{test}
\end{document}

xdvi shows up an "could not be found" in both cases: manual.pdf
could be found, and could not be found.

TIA,
  Hilmar
