You are on the wrong list here. This is about pdftex engine bugs not
about debugging arbitrary LaTeX code. 

Beside this an image of a small part of your code is not enough. You
obviously have a complex document which uses lots of files arranged
in various folders and uses environments defined by some privat
package or class. Nobody can tell you simply by looking at an image
of a paragraph why at some time a graphic is searched and why it is
not found. I assume that you didn't setup this project yourself, so
ask the person who gave it to you for help.
