The files are referred to in the theme relative to the root of the
theme.  This notation is valid, and works.  If the files exist, I
would suggest a permissions issue.  Your packager's copy is probably
the issue-- you might try removing the theme entirely, in all
locations, and getting it with the theme downloaded in the UI, which
is how we want all themes distributed now anyway.
