Comment:

 You cant use absolute paths (relative to root) because not all WordPress
 installs are rooted at /

 The thickbox script contains paths designed for use within the admin area,
 If you want to use it on the front end you need to add something similar
 to the following to your head:

 {{{
 <script type="text/javascript">
 //<![CDATA[
 var tb_pathToImage = "<?php echo site_url('/wp-
 includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif'); ?>";
 var tb_closeImage = "<?php echo site_url('/wp-includes/js/thickbox/tb-
 close.png'); ?>";
 //]]>
 </script>
 }}}

 See #6453
