Attached is an archive with a working example. The structure is:

master.Rnw
-> ./chapter1.tex
-> ./chapter2.Rnw
-> ./chapter3.tex
refs.bib

I've run it through knitr and compiled it with xelatex (see master.pdf),
so you can just open master.Rnw with emacs and test out reftex-toc and
reftex-citation.

Hopefully this is useful,

Dave.
