Thanks Michael, that looks like that did it!  the way the actual error
was coming out, I was looking for something in my search syntax 
that was amiss.  However, it was just as you say, the roll over.  I 
just changed it from the __IMG_DIR__ variable that I had, to 
an exact file location with a leading "/".

Thanks again!
