I have encountered this as well. It seems to me that the problem is with the & macros being a relative path. For example, in your main document you have
<!ENTITY Punctuation SYSTEM "Punctuation.xml">
which means that whenever &Punctuation is encountered, the contents of ./Punctuation.xml are inserted. This is fine when all your files are in the same directory. But, when you use the validator it expects to find Punctuation.xml in /tmp/apache since that's where your main document was uploaded to. Unfortunately the only solution I can think of is to not use the & macros and just have one big XML file.
