You probably coded your <IMG> tags and whatnot with relative URLs.
Try using absolute calls to all included content.

i.e.:
<IMG SRC="/full/virtual/path/to/my.gif">

instead of:

<IMG SRC="images/my.gif"> or <IMG SRC="../images/my.gif">

You error document will build a relative call from the current path,
and that's most likely what's tripping you up.
