In my test case (see attached) this is working properly. Try running the idv 
and with the -islinteractive
argument from the command line:
runIdv -islinteractive yourislfile.isl

This will load your is file in interactive mode. Then go to the properties of 
the data source.
Under the details tab it will list the file being used. Note: the name of the 
data source is usually
the name of the initial file. This is daved in the bundle so when you reload it 
via the isl it will still
have the old name. But the "File:" listing in the Details tab will show the 
file being used.
