access an UIImage instance variable and display it in UIImageView

Question

I'm trying to access an UIImage instance variable and display it in UIImageView. When I try to NSLog the path I get null. I can manually display a pic through the IB, but I want to do this strictly through code

#import "Deck.h"
#import "Card.h"

@implementation Deck

@synthesize cards;

- (id) init
{
    if(self = [super init])
    {
        cards = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

        NSInteger aCount, picNum = 0;

        for(int suit = 0; suit < 4; suit++)
        {
            for(int face = 1; face < 14; face++, picNum++)
            {


                NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"card_%d", picNum];
                NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:fileName         
                   ofType:@"png"inDirectory:@"/cards"];

                NSLog(@"%@", path);                          //outputs correctly

                UIImage *output = [UIImage imageNamed:path];

                NSLog(@"%@", output);                        //outputs null

                Card *card = [[Card alloc] initWithFaceValue:(NSInteger)face
                                                countValue:(NSInteger)aCount
                                                suit:(Suit)suit
                                                cardImage:(UIImage *)output];

                [cards addObject:card];
            }

        }
    }
    return self;
}

I've added a link to show where the pics are found

You don't have to include all the path to the image, if you just put the name, Xcode will automatically look for it.
