Jirka,
Upon further inspection, the path to my images in the HTML output file appears
to have duplicate references to the source path.
Example using entities:
In the *.ent file:
<!ENTITY createRole_002 SYSTEM "img/createRole_002.png" NDATA PNG>
In the *.xml file:
<para><inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata entityref="createRole_002"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject></para>
HTML output:
file:///C:/views/rtvn-12.1/apps/OMS/doc/ModuleUsersGuide/DocTest/file:/C:/views/rtvn-12.1/apps/OMS/doc/ModuleUsersGuide/DocTest/img/createRole_002.png
I am guessing this is my issue, I have no idea why it is happening. Thoughts?

Please, next time reply to all, so answer is sent back to the whole mailing
list.

You should definitively read the following book if you mean it seriously with
using DocBook XSL stylesheets:
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
Back to your question. In your document you will use just filenames without any
path:
<imagedata fileref="picture.png"/>
Then in subdirectories like "version1" and "version2" you will store two
different versions of this image, both times in a file called picture.png
Then during the processing you will set "img.src.path" parameter either to
"version1/" or "version2/" value. You can set parameter from command line when
invoking XSLT processor or you can store it into your own XSL customization
layer. More details are in the book mentioned above.
