This looks to me like somehow you aren't setting the
base URL of the document correctly. Are you building the
DOM dynamically? Or are you providing an input stream with
a 'URI' to the XML Parser? If so you need to replace the
text "defs.svg" with a properly formatted URL (like
"file:///defs.svg"
Once that is fixed I still don't think it will render right
(see below).

The SVG pattern element doesn't have an xlink:href attribute.
You will need to have an 'image' element under the pattern, something
like:
<pattern id="fpatid" x="0.5in" y="0.5in" width="0.5in" height="0.5in">
<image x="0" y="0" width=".5in" height=".5in"
xlink:href="file:///volumes/pbook/users/user/images/image.png"/>
</pattern>
