Hm, I have the exact same problem. But it used to work!
Let's see... Oh, I think its because of the directory structure. The
doc I'm testing with is a multifile one:
master.tex
master.pdf
master.synctex.gz
sections/sec1.tex
sections/sec2.tex
sections/sec3.tex
When I run the synctex command AUCTeX creates, I get this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ synctex view -i 222:0:sections/sec3.tex -o master.pdf
This is SyncTeX command line utility, version 1.2
SyncTeX Warning: No tag for sections/sec3.tex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If I run it on the master.tex file, I get results.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
synctex view -i 22:0:master.tex -o master.pdf
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Testing again with a single-file doc, the -p %(outpage) is correctly
expanded...
So it seems that forward search doesn't work with multifile
documents. :-(
Checking a bit more... Oh, that one works:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ synctex view -i 222:0:./sections/sec3.tex -o master.pdf
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note the "./". However, this does not work:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
synctex view -i 22:0:./master.tex -o master.pdf
This is SyncTeX command line utility, version 1.2
SyncTeX Warning: No tag for ./master.tex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So it seems, one has to use ./ for files in other directories, but it
has to be omitted for files in the current directory. That's a bit
strange...
Bye,
Tassilo

My answer from yesterday didn't hit Gmane yet. Anyway, the problem
seems to be with multifile TeX docs, where the current file that is
given to synctex is in some subdir.
synctex view -i master.tex -o master.pdf # Works
synctex view -i sections/foo.tex -o master.pdf # Does not work
synctex view -i ./sections/foo.tex -o master.pdf # Works
synctex view -i ./master.tex -o master.pdf # Does not work
Here's a patch that makes synctex happy.
