To build URLs relative to the base of the extension, use chrome.extension.getURL(relativeUri). See API documentation at http://chromeextensionsdocs.appspot.com/
Referring to resources within the extension should work fine from extension pages (e.g. background page or a browser action drop-down) but calling chrome.extension.getURL() will not work from a user script since user scripts run in the context of whichever page(s) you target them to, and those pages don't have access to the extension APIs.
