Try emptying /Library/Caches and /Users/you/Library/Caches and reboot ?

Thanks for the suggestion Chris, but it didn't change anything. Still
hoping someone has a different idea.

The icon caches in Leopard are stored in /var/folders. You can use "Go
To Folders..." in Finder to go to /var/folders, root around in there
to find the cache you have access to, and then delete it. Or you can
use Terminal.app and issue the command

find . -name *.iconcache -exec rm {} \;

to delete it. You may get a bunch of permission-denied warnings, which
you can ignore, or you can run the command with sudo to delete every
user's icon cache. After you delete the icon cache, log out and back in.
