If you are trying to fabricate an identifier in the macro output from a
symbol available at macro expansion time, try using with-syntax and
make sure that datum->syntax-object tacks the appropriate source location
on your created identifier for hygenic stuff.

Otherwise, I think you'll have to post your macro (or better yet, a
simplified version that illustrates the problem) to the list.
