uploaded and enabled all the associated modules as described
uploaded the template.php file after adding my theme name (my theme does not have its own template.php file)

explanation:

The slideshow themes where placed in different directories.

By default the slideshow themes are placed in the directory custom/modules/ddblock

custom/
--modules/
----ddblock/
------ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright10.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-pager-content-upright10.tpl.php
------images/
--------readmore.png
--------readmore-hover.png
--------transparent_bg.png
------upright10/
--------ddblock-cycle-upright.css

The slideshow template files need to be placed in the same directory as the
ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php and ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php files

same construction that node.tpl.php needs to be in the same folder as node-[content-type].tpl.php otherwise the node-[content-type].tpl.php will not be called.

When other slideshow themes (e.g. gradient-blue30p) with ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php and ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php are placed in a different folder it depends which folder the drupal theming system will find first.

When it find the folder with the gradient-blue30p first the upright themes will not work, because the theming system tries to find candidate template files in the folder with the gradient-blue slideshow theme.

When another slideshow theme is added the folder structure should look like this:

custom/
--modules/
----ddblock/
------ddblock-cycle-block-content.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-block-content-gradient-blue30p.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright10.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-pager-content.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-pager-content-gradient-blue30p.tpl.php
------ddblock-cycle-pager-content-upright10.tpl.php
------images/
--------readmore.png
--------readmore-hover.png
--------transparent_bg.png
------gradient-blue30p/
--------ddblock-cycle-gradient-blue30p.css
------upright10/
--------ddblock-cycle-upright10.css

Hope this helps to explain why slideshow themes can not be placed in different folders.
(think about it as node.tpl.php and node-[content-type].tpl.php)
