I just dragged the link out here. You look alright, this is what I see:

Which means it is pulling the "status" as 00.
If you are calling from /index.php the file in /files/ym/status.php, and it is opening the ./icons/00/icon.gif, than the problem here is that the filepath is incorrect. The filepath to the icon is under /files/ym/icons/00/icon.gif, but from the index, this path will resolve to /icons/00/icon.gif, which means you aren't getting the file you need.
Go back to the previous code you had without the printf's in it, and change this:
$file = './icon/'.$sStatus.'/'.$_GET['img'].'.gif'; // This $_GET['img'] isn't really the most secure. Perhaps a switch validation should be used. to this:
$file = __DIR__ . '/./icon/'.$sStatus.'/'.$_GET['img'].'.gif'; // This $_GET['img'] isn't really the most secure. Perhaps a switch validation should be used. and see if that does the trick.
I'm still curious as to why the file_get_contents is used directly within the status on the original code, but I have to find it as the second line of the body.
Edit:
Actually, your problem may be even easier than this:

That indicates the link for /online is no good.
