Have you ruled out your browser displaying a cached version of the site?
Have you tried from another machine?  If you post the real URL I'll be glad
to check for you.  You may also try accessing the machine through the shell
(ssh or <shudder> telnet) and typing:

locate "filename"

where filename is one of the webpages you are having a problem with.  It
will return all files that match the filename which may help you get closer
to finding the problem.  It would be fairly simple to backup the files and
change them one by one to see what the webpage is pointing to.
