Moving this to the multisite forum for you.
Is the folder really named assets?
Did you rename/move your wp-content/uploads folders?
What theme are you using?
I will note that assets is not a normal WordPress location for images, so if you have a theme/plugin forcing them to move, it may cause all sorts of havoc with Multisite. The proper place for your images is in your uploads folders, and any time plugins/themes move ’em around on their own, it’s a nightmare.

Yes, I’m using the Roots starter theme, which does modify the permalinks. It’s solidly written though and supposed to work with Multisite. Perhaps I should rely on the Roots forums for a fix here.
Thanks for your help.
Yeeeaah I wouldn’t count on it :/ From what I understand, that’s just how Roots does things. Making it not friends with Multisite at all.
Roots dev here. Roots has used “media” as the upload folder for half a year now instead of “assets” so you’re probably using an older version. Feel free to change the upload folder to whatever you like or just use the WP default – changing it is just a recommendation that’s offered when you’re going through the theme activation.
You can also post over on the Roots forums if you’re having issues – we don’t usually check on anything over here
retlehs – Any reason why you’ve moved the media upload folder at all? And have you tested this against Multisite and how it stores files?

Thanks for the replies, Ben and Mika. You guys are my WP heroes.
I’m happy to say that a completely fresh re-install solved the problem. Something must have got messed up as I was converting an old theme install to multisite.
