say: page=right (or yes) and it will work. This feature only makes sense when you also let the header command takes care of going to a new page, else synchronization is not possible. For chapters, page=right is default.

You can also add a first line 

% interface=en output=pdftex 

to the tex file. texexex will pick up this line.
