bibunits (and probably other packages) create bu.aux but not bu.tex #95

Leading to the script bombing out on 

make: *** No rule to make target `bu.tex', needed by `driver.d'.  Stop.

Can you attach relevant files for this here?  I'd like to see a minimal example that
fails in this way so that I can 
debug it.

I see this with multibib, here is a minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{own}{{Own publications}}
\begin{document}
They: \cite{Freeman61}, me: \citeown{Schmitt2008RAI}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{diss}
\bibliographystyleown{alpha}
\bibliographyown{diss}
\end{document}

Could you attach the relevant parts of your diss.bib file, as well?

For what it's worth, I've been able to workaround this issue with package bibunits by
creating empty bu#.tex files for each bu#.aux file that needs to be processed by bibtex.

Seems to work... but I'm new to latex-makefile and haven't dug in to the details. 
What I think is happening is that latex-makefile is tricked into thinking bu#.aux was
generated from each bu#.tex.  Next, latex-makefile proceeds to generate bu#.bbl from
bu#.aux and happily uses bu#.bbl where ever they are needed in the bibunits-calling
latex document.  

Hope it can help someone else -- sample files attached.

$ touch bu1.tex
$ make
