It's not that bad really, just hope that I'll fall asleep somewhat more
"normal" time tonight :)

There can be a couple of reasons

1. you don't have the file in question

2. the path is wrong

3. the webserver don't have the right to access the directory

In a *nix environment, just see to that the directory has the folloving
privileges set

drwxr-xr-x 2 username users 296 Jan 12 2006 pdf

this can be doen in a shell with:
chmod 755 pdf

and for all files inside the directory
chmod 644 <filename>

whcih gives
-rw-r--r-- 1 username users 2092 Jan 12 2005 anime.pdf


Hope this will help to fix things for you.
