RDR - Red Dead Redemption - Family Member Not Here Jack

Now, I know many people have had this problem with a message coming up, saying Jack is away, even though you turn up in the right time period. I have heard people say that this can be fixed by sleeping - didn't work for me, or leaving town and returning - didn't work for me.

Oh yeah... I also happened to be staring at the boy while it tells me he is away. (see image on link)

Anybody got a sure-fire method of fixing this problem yet or do I just have to leave my xbox for a while?

Go sleep till you see on your map that the letter from jack is bigger then normal. Then you know he is present.
