record images - is this a bug?

[Nils Meyer]

Please help! I have banged my head against the wall for 2 weeks with this.
I'm trying to display record images on my front page but the images are invisible. It's working for a bunch of people but for me the images don't show even after reinstalling, tried a few different versions too.

This code

<article class='cCmsCategoryFeaturedEntry {{if $record->hidden()}}ipsModerated{{endif}}'>
 <a href="{$record->url()}" title="{lang="read_more_about" sprintf="$record->_title"}">
  <div class="frontpage_firstitem" style="background-image: url({file="$record->record_image"})">
  </div> 
</a>
</article>

displays this as source code:

1. background-image: url(http://lightpile.net/uploads/); 

Is this a bug? Should it generate the full image url in source?
