user pictures not showing despite path being correct.

I can upload user images fine - but the don't display. I checked the source HTML and the path is correct to the image. I confirmed upload by opening FTP client and checking the upload folder on the server. It is there - the path is correct but the image isn't showing - strange.

When you browse to the image you get 'page not found':

Thanks. Not sure how to do that though.

Here's part of the htaccess that comes default with Drupal (haven't changed a thing)

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "\.(engine|inc|info|install|make|module|profile|test|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl|svn-base)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template|all-wcprops|entries|format)$">
  Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>

Why should I need to change anything. User pictures comes with Drupal 6 Core. Why should I then have to hack the htaccess that comes with D6 to make it work?

Something tells me this isn't quite right.
