This is probably a situation where Scribus simply can't find the image. 
The best way to try to send someone an SLA file with its images is to 
use File > Collect for Output. This will create a directory that you 
give a name, which then includes all the necessary image files, and if 
you want, fonts.

If you know you currently have all the image files, they are just not 
where Scribus expects them to be compared to the original relative 
locations. It may be worth trying to use Extras > Manage Images, where 
you can see which images cannot be found, and search for them by 
clicking on Search, which will let you browse for them. The dialog helps 
you with the name, so you know what you're looking for.
