.htaccess Edit For Cache, and Now Images Won't Load

    I've been trying to implement a caching system for my site, an example page being here. As you can see from the code, there should be images appearing under each of the linked armoire plans, but they aren't loading anymore. So this is how I got to this point.

    To begin with, my .htaccess file was blank. So I found a caching system over at askapache.com and saved this code into my domain's .htaccess file. 
    # year
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|mp3|mp4)$">
Header set Cache-Control "public"
Header set Expires "Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:00:00 GMT"
Header unset Last-Modified
</FilesMatch>
#2 hours
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|xml|txt|xsl)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=7200, must-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
Header set Expires "Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:00:00 GMT"
</FilesMatch>
    Code (markup):
    That didn't work. I checked the headers on websniffer and it said no-cache. So I reverted back to the blank .htaccess file. I searched some more and checked my site and noticed that the images weren't loading. I went to my other computer and checked my site and the images were loading fine, so I assumed it was just the cache on my laptop. Ok, fine. I found some new code to try out and saved this to my .htaccess, 



    # Turn on the Expires engine
ExpiresActive On
 
# Expires after a month client accesses the file
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000
ExpiresByType text/plain A2592000
 
# Good for one week
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript M604800
ExpiresByType text/css M604800
ExpiresByType text/html M604800
    Code (markup):

    That didn't work either. I again reverted back to a blank .htaccess file but this time the images won't load at all. My site is being hosted at webhostinghub.com, cpanel (build 4), apache 2.2.22. I assumed they have mod_expires enabled because a post in their support forum stated that it was enabled for a particular user, but I am going to check on that. Thanks for any help.
