Yes the path to the image is correct.

First check if the path to the image is the right one. Then move the background inside the "style" property like this:

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="border-left:1px solid #B1B1B1; border-right:1px solid #B1B1B1; background: url(/images/bg_top.jpg) no-repeat;" >

You can change no-repeat to repeat-y or repeat-x depending on your needs. Hope it helps.
