Can't find a php file on root - its there?

Question

Hi,
Sorry for the repeated posts.
I am now getting these issues:
Warning:  include_once(home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php)  [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or  directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/example.php on line 49
Warning:  include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening  'home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php' for inclusion  (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in  /home/thevilla/public_html/example.php on line 49
This demo uses the "Movies" template and the sample data that come bundled with the purchase package
The fpss file is sitting on my server and is the sub folder for the php file.  The html which gets me to this point is:-
<?php
         /* Frontpage Slideshow: Setup Steps */
         /* Please refer first to the online documentation here: http://www.joomlaworks.gr/content/view/74/41/ */
         // 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
         $slideshow = "myslideshow";
         // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
         $siteURL = "http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
         // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
         $sitePath = "home/thevilla/public_html";
         // Include the slideshow
         include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE
         ?>

Sorry iPHP,
Just been back over the posts and I have changed the html to read:-
// 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
            $slideshow="myslideshow";
            // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
            $siteURL="http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
            // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
            $sitePath="/home/thevilla/public_html";
            // Include the slideshow
            include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE
Which are the absolute paths as far as I am aware?
Uploading this PHP file I now get errors saying:-
Warning:  require_once(/home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/slideshows/myslideshow/parameters.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php on line 16
Fatal error:  require_once() [function.require]:  Failed opening required  '/home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/slideshows/myslideshow/parameters.php'  (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php on line 16
In regard to this error the files are online on my host server, so this can't be the problem? line 16 in fpss.php relates to:-
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).DS.'slideshows'.DS.$slideshow.DS.'parameters.php');
