I've had some trouble with imagecache not working during node preview using the CCK imagefield, because the images were being stored in the /tmp directory. Imagecache implode()s the file path from the argument string, losing the '/' at the start. The attached patch fixed this problem for me.

and can you tell me why you want ImageCache serving images from your tmp directory?

Ok so sorry... this is more of a by design thing... don't use absolute paths to imagecache source images... they need to be either relative to the file directory path or the root of the drupal installation...

This is a security issue... I'm sure you dont' want me grabbing images from other websites on your server or your users home directory...
