Al, Thank you for that very concise piece of advice!
Andy also nailed it on the head when he said to use /root/images/bg.gif or images/bg.gif but NOT /images/bg.gif. I was doing that last bit which was producing an error. Then I tried the second part, but soon realized that it didn't work within a directory beneath the root directory. Finally, I resolved the problem completely by doing exactly what you said to do, namely to set a variable in application.cfm with the value of "/whmedia/" and then reference that variable in all of my templates.
