Yes, it produces the correct file name.

The main difference I want to reiterate is this:

The following works (whereas the one I provided before doesn't):


    <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
    <div style="padding: 5px;">
    <div class="blockTitle"> 
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr> 
      <td width="101" height="37" style="background-image: url([color=0000FF]http://www.mysite.com/xoops/themes/mytheme/Big_Story_image1.gif[/color]); background-repeat: no-repeat;">&nbsp;td>
      <td height="37" style="background-image: url([color=0000FF]http://www.mysite.com/xoops/themes/mytheme/Big_Story_image2.gif[/color]); background-repeat: repeat-x;">&nbsp;td>
      <td width="114" height="37" style="background-image: url([color=0000FF]http://www.mysite.com/xoops/themes/mytheme/Big_Story_image3.gif[/color]); background-repeat: no-repeat;">&nbsp;td>
    tr>
  table>
div>
<div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}>div>
    div>
    <{/foreach}>

What I'm saying is that you can't even use <{$xoops_imageurl}> inside background-image: url( );, meaning this

background-image: url(<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/image.gif);
won't work. That's the whole problem!
