I have set values of bibtex-completion-bibliography, bibtex-completion-notes-path and bibtex-completion-library-path in a .dir-locals.el file. The .dir-locals file looks like this:

;;; Directory Local Variables -*- no-byte-compile: t -*- ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables") ((nil . ((bibtex-completion-library-path . "~/Dropbox/reading/book-pdfs") (bibtex-completion-notes-path . "~/Dropbox/reading/book-notes") (bibtex-completion-bibliography . "~/Dropbox/reading/books.bib"))))

I do this because I want to be able to use helm-bibtex for different projects, each of which has its own directory. When I call up helm-bibtex the bibliography appears, but the notes and PDF symbols do not. I know that notes and PDFs exist, if I assign values in my init.el file these symbols appear. The values of bibtex-completion-notes-symbol and bibtex-completion-pdf-symbol are correct when verified with C-h v. Has anyone got any ideas on why these symbols aren't showing up? Thanks in advance for any help.
