I have heard that some bugs/glitches happen when there is a bounty somewhere. Do you have a bounty?

I was an never had an issue. Do not know what else to tell you except report it in the "software" section under dawnguard. That is where they are reporting all the bugs and glitches. Sorry

I just found a solution, after finding him and he being hostile, exit cave, wait 3 days, return. Now hes all freindly.

If you approach him as a werewolf as I first did, he won't like it.

No, i never showed him my beast form, he was just hostile for some reason. Well i figured out a fix anyway (as shown in the post above yours), so no worries.

Hmm I'm having this same problem. I do have a bounty but it's only like 40 gold. I killed a group of stormcloaks on my way to the cave. I'm going to try and get rid of it before I go back in. I have a save before I go into the cave. And then I'll try waiting 3 days if that doesn't work.

I have had the same problem. I've had this problem for a while so I just left and continue my skyrim life. It been about two weeks since I last went back to ruunvald. ( skyrim time ). How do I fix this problem with the mission? Is going into the cave and coming outto wait for three days fix this? If not how would I fix this?
