Ray Lawrence pointed this out to me, and I thought it was a problem with my themes, but I just tried one of Himmat's 1.5 themes and the problem persists.
Problem:
If site is using Theme A, and a teacher sets their course to Theme B, Theme B's header graphics will not show. The source code has all of the tags for Theme B's header graphics, but it is looking for them in Theme A's folder.
Now, this could very well be a problem of the themes Himmat and I have created, as we do similar things, but it might also be a Moodle problem which is why I mention it.
Thanks for any help on this from the higher ups.

Hi Jeff,
it could be that you stumbled over the same point as I did.
Please look at my forum post "Linking to the current theme".
I hope you get it that way.

Thanks Urs, that did the trick.
When using graphics in the header, I was using this format:
<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme/image.jpg" ?>
switched to this as suggested by Urs:
<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>/image.jpg ?>
and everything works fine.

Moodle 1.5 themes at ClassroomRevolution have been updated to fix this problem.
Thanks everyone for helping and using our themes.

I had the same trouble with the Romanmoodle15 theme from Moodle Themes and fixed it via your suggestion replacing all instances of
<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme" ?>
with
<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>
in the header.html file of the theme
Thanks for the suggestion. This was driving me crazy!
<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme" ?>
with
<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>
in the header.html file of the theme
Thanks for the suggestion. This was driving me crazy!
Thanks, this solution worked for me, too! It seems that the quotations around '/theme/' made the difference! Why is adding graphics to headers so difficult?

<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme/image.jpg" ?>
switched to this as suggested by Urs:
<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>/image.jpg ?>
It's because the line is written in php as an echo, Adele.
In the first line <?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme/image.jpg" ?> the line is going to echo everything inside the ""
In the second line <?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme() ?>/image.jpg ?> the echo command first takes whatever comes out of $CFG->wwwroot, then the . tells the echo command to concatenate it (add it to) whatever comes next, in this case the bit inside the ' ' /theme/ followed by another . to add it to the next part which calls the name of the current theme being used current_theme()
Just for neatness sake I would probably have added the final /image.jpg inside the echo as well giving you
<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/theme/'.current_theme().'/image.jpg' ?>
All this seems to add additional complexity to what should be a straightforward <img> link, but it allows the theme to be renamed (current_theme()) or used on different server setups ($CFG->wwwroot) without having to recode the theme each time.
It does take some getting used to when you start looking at themes, but its well worth getting to know
Hope that explanation helps a bit

It's not as simple as adding quotations around '/theme/' in the example you linked to, there are other factors at play too.
