Do you have more than one copy of the INPUT symbol on your hard disk?
What is the location of the second sheet?
Can you post a simplified master sheet and your INPUT symbol?

Does your gafrc allow to search the directory where the second sheet is 
located? This needs to be set with a source-library statement. Three 
default locations are scanned gafrc files:

1) $INSTALLDIR/share/gEDA/system-gafrc

2) $HOME/.gEDA/gafrc

3) $PWD/gafrc


I like to make sure, that only the project dir is searched for subsheet 
symbols and subsheets. So I put this gafrc file in every project dir:

/-----------
; discard system settings
(reset-component-library)
(reset-source-library)

; allow to load symbols and subsheets from the current dir
(define current-working-directory (getenv "PWD"))
(component-library current-working-directory)
(source-library  current-working-directory)

; Where to collect symbols from
(define gedasymbols "/home/kmk/geda/gedasymbols/www/user/kai_martin_knaak/
symbols")
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "titleblock"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "power"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "misc"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "digital"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "connector"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "block"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "analog/diode"))
(component-library (build-path gedasymbols "analog"))
\-----------

Hope, this helps,
