Yes, the server and the message file are in the proper relative locations.

Because of the problem you're seeing, you should determine whether the file
pointed to is the *correct* message file for that server version. In Linux
there doesn't seem to be any way to find out the build version string; but
in Konqueror or equivalent, inspect the property sheet of both the
executable and the .msg file and determine that their 'Modified' property
is the same date and time.

If they are the same on the server, i.e., OK, then one has to suspect that
the client application, somewhere in its layering, is causing the
problem. Maybe you are using a client interface or binary application that
is wrapped around an older client and enforcing use of a local message file.
