Imagecache presets not integrating with views

Hey guys,

I am absolutely stumped with this, i can't work out whats going on with this i'm having. It's mainly to do with integration of this module with views, a breakdown of some of the key modules i have installed:
Domain Access 6.x-2.6
Views 6.x-2.11
Imagecache 6.x-2.0

So what i am having real problems with is setting up. I set up my presets in Imagecache, which creates the folders for me in the files directory, no problem. Then i go to User settings and configure my picture setting in user->settings. I have attached a screenshot of the setup. So thats all ok.

Now when i go into my views, i pull in the User:Picture as a field, and set the imagecache setting as 'user_image_default' from the imagecache dropdown. Then that's when i start to get problems.

In the preview of the view, the image appears to work ok. But then when viewing on my site, the view just displays the default sized image. No imagecache version. I know the imagecache is working, as when you go to the edit profile screen, under avatar (or picture) the default imagecache version of the image is there!

When i check my folder structure though, the image that is being viewed in the browser isn't there!! It's crazy! I have set all my permissions and everything, so you SHOULD be able to see the imagecache version. Thsi is driving me nuts, i have tried uninstalling imagecache, re-installing, re-configuring, putting the folder structure in my folder structure manually. I don't know what else to do. I feel i'm starting to come to a dead end situ.

Could it be the Domain Access module affecting things?

Has anyone else had issues like the ones i'm having? Any feedback or help would be greatfully received!

thanks
Craig
