You don't say what Revit you are on.

I don't know if this is your problem or not.  We schedule furnishings by room.  Everything worked fine in 2008 then we upgraded to 2009 and still everything was fine.  However, when we installed the service pack in 2009, some of our furniture went missing.  We found that the upgrade handled rooms differently.  Items on the second floor now showed up on the third floor.  We re-installed without the service pack.

I have not tried this out yet in 2010 so I don't know if they fixed the problem.

A second consideration is how your families are built.  If any part of your family does not lie in the room, the family is not counted.  THAT INCLUDES INVISIBLE LINES !  Some family builders include invisible lines as location lines but I've found this to be a bad practice.  Check out your families and verify that both in the xy planes and the z planes that the family is in the room.

Yes, I think there was a bug...

If you have floor hosted elements and have installed the service pack, that may be your problem.  Do you have a room above/below?  If so, schedule those and see if the items appear in those schedules... I played with the room limits.  I had them set to the next floor so I changed them to offset from the floor above.  That's how I found what caused the problem.

GREAT!!!!!

So much for pulling an all nighter.  The schedules still look crap.

No rooms above or below although I do have mezzanine levels that are not directly above so its abit hard to test.  I have found that all the componants from a linked Revit file dont schedule the components in the correct room. They are scheduled at the top under no room.......Do I need to bind this file into my scene to get these thes items to schedule correctly???? Still I dont know what the deal is with the other components??? 

Thanks for your responses though - much appreciated.

Kenny, I've not done much with schedules across linked files like you are doing.  But, iems in linked files should still schedule without binding.  When you created your schedule, did you check the box to include elements from linked files?

Ooops ... you say they schedule but in no room.  I believe the issue here deals with how they exist in the linked file.  Does that file contain the room?   If the room is in your main file, I don't see how that can work.  

You may have to do some deeper searching on linked schedules and linked rooms.
