I believe this is a "feature" of the new game. In Civ 4, building a fort
on
a resource provides access to that resource. So, unless the resource is
inside the city cross, building a fort is the best way to get access to
it.
The theory is that a fort provides defense as well as the resource, while
a
mine or farm or whatever provides the resource without the defense.
So, workers will always choose to build a fort on a resource if it is
outside of the city fat cross.
