NSURLCache was rewritten in 10.5; the new implementation probably 
ignores file: URLs, because it doesn't make sense to use the 
filesystem to cache data from the filesystem.

Are you sure you need to be using a cache to store local files? Why 
can't you just reload the image from its original source file if you 
need to? If you really need to do this, you'll need to make your own 
implementation, I think.
