I'm not 100% familiar with Dreamhost's cloud file service, but I'm wondering if it's the same issue as Amazon S3. If you try and distribute files directly from S3, they won't play.

Instead, you have to deliver them with Cloudfront which seemed to fix the problem. Not sure if it's the same situation for Dreamhost, but thought it might help.
