Mark,

      I've run into the exact same issue. The button tag, I believe but haven't
completely
figured it out, makes some assumptions about the location of the images. And if
it can't find the image it will fortunately default to some other image or the
text
specified.  What I've done, not the best solution for sure, is made the path
a somewhat hard coded path like the following
