Check to see if you have an "alias" set in httpd.conf like the 
following, that would be telling the server to look for /images in 
/usr/share/images instead of the starting at DocumentRoot:

Alias /images/ "/usr/share/images/"
<Directory "/usr/share/images">
   [some parameters here...]
</Directory>
