Here is the response I got from the server for your transparent gif:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Error</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Error 404</H1>

Not found - file doesn't exist or is read protected [even tried multi]

This means that the file is not there.  Remember that unix is case
sensitive, so if the image is named vSpace35.gif, then you won't be able
to access it as vspace35.gif

If it's written, resume.
If it is spoken, "tooting your own horn" ;)
Or just "experience"...
