problems with permissions or getting access to a file

hi all
having trouble here with a site that I am hosting on go-daddy

I want to keep my php and my images apart

so to do this I have the base directory which contains the php scripts. 
On the directory above that I have
my photos stored in /photos

when I run my scripts I get the following:

time -4 hours1265815323 <
*Warning*: filemtime() [function.filemtime 
<http://www.patrickrice.net/tomdcam/function.filemtime>]: stat failed 
for testPanasonicCamMotion20100201022429140.jpg in 
*/home/content/j/a/c/jackcards/html/tomdcam/MotionCamLast1Hours.php* on 
line *16*

*/home/content/j/a/c/jackcards/html/tomdcam/MotionCamLast1Hours.php* on 
line *16

*_The script is the following below _from running this script, I keep 
getting this error, now when I copy this script in to the directory 
photo where the photos are stored, the script displays the images with 
no problems leaving me think that the issue is with the permissions, I 
have modified the pre-emptions to give all access as a test and still 
problems. Anyone got any Ideas??

Thanks in advance.
