Using SSI in a page. Pages in one folder don't work

Question

I have a fairly large site (page count wise that is) that I
have tried my first case of using a Server Side Include. The site
is
http://www.schaefergreenhouses.com
In the upper left area of the side navigation bar, green,
there are two text links, Christmas and Trees & Wreaths. Those
2 text links are actually a SSI, where the page the SSI is calling
has only those 2 links in it.
I got it to work on my webserver, no problem.
However, there is a group of pages, further down the left
column, one being "Interior Plant Maintenance" as an example. This
group of 20 or 30 pages puts up an error in the spot where the SSI
is supposed to go. There error is "an error occurred while
processing this directive".
The whole site is based on a master Template, so if some
pages work, they all should. I even tried deleting the Template
info from this one page, re-applying it, and uploading, and still
get that error.
At first I thought it was just this group of pages because
they reside in a sub-directory off the home, but that's not it
because most others that work are also in a folder.
Any ideas? I have no clue where to begin troubleshooting
this

No - the link to the file being included doesn't have to be
root relative.
BUT all links within the file being included should be
(unless everything is
in the same folder).

It can, and it does.

Well, you got *THAT* right! 8)
