Sure, I have updated the background, as I saw there was a new update for ubuntu-tweak. This is what I have for unity-greeter.conf:
[greeter]
background = /home/bruce/Library/Graphics/Wallpapers/1440x900/01649.jpg
...

The path is correct, as I have tested with eog /home/bruce/Library/Graphics/Wallpapers/1440x900/01649.jpg from the CLI.

However the error still persists.

While I was waiting for a response, I manually set up a background and I copied it into /usr/share/backgrounds and edited unity-greet.conf. One thing I did notice is that if the permissions are not set properly it will not work. You need at least go+r in order for the background to show. Any ideas?
