Are you sure that you're surfing to *exactly* those URLs? When I go to
http://www.angrynates.com/cart/getpic.py?pic=2&id=1, I get an image, but
when I go to http://www.angrynates.com/cart/getpic.py?pic=1&id=2, I get
an error message. I am guessing that you have your pic and id parameter
switched around.

That's possible if your script is doing something stupid, but I find my
above guess much more likely.
