Externalizing graphics

Hi,

I'm writing my dissertation and I want to externalize graphics. I'm
putting chapters on individual directories so the structure of my
dissertation directory looks like:

main.tex
chapter1/chapter1.tex
chapter1/images/chapter1.figure1.tex

and so on. Now the problem is that I'm not able to externalize anything.
On the preamble of my main file I've the following lines:

\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize{main}

Then on every chapter file I've :
\chapter{My Chapter}
\tikzexternalize{chapter1/chapter1} % I'm not sure about this line
\tikzsetexternalprefix{chapter1/images/}

Since I want every graphic to be named arbitrarily I use
\tikzsetnextfilename{arbitrary-filename} before each tikzpicture
environnement. Everything compiles fine but no image is generated I just
get a big white box. Not sure if this depends on the document class I'm
using (memoir). Or maybe what I'm trying to do is not possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sebastian
