Making paper from trees makes ecological sense, and recycling waste paper doesn't make so much.
I think you're missing the released carbon from processing newly-felled trees and the soil disturbances between tree felling and new tree planting. Of course, there are traps in recycling (if you have to drive it somewhere, combine it with another journey), but it's still worth doing. Burning for fuel is still good, but less good.
If you've references, I'm interested, but maybe we should move this to social@lists.alug.org.uk?
