hey bluenova,
this is the code in default theme.html:
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr id="footerbar">
<td><a href="https://xoops.org/" target="_blank"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>poweredby.gif" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
although this will not correct your issue, i did not realize the gif was in default theme directory so make sure you correct this for time when you get this to generate properly.
