The first thing I would look at is the source of the HTML to verify 
that the right URL path is being used to refer to the images. If so, 
you need to follow the web server walk to figure out what it's 
resolving to inside of Frontier when you request one of the images. I 
usually do this by making a request for just the image, making sure 
debugging is on so I get the pagetable saved.

When you say served "out of the ODB", I assume you are referring to a 
mainResponder site, being served with the flRender pref set to true? 
One other thing to check: have you set the imageExtensions pref to "" 
in the top level #prefs table of your site?
