demos only playable from .pk3 files

I'm running ioquake3 on FreeBSD 7. I cannot play my recorded demos unless I
put them into a .pk3 file. If I try to open them through the menu I just get a
"couldn't open demo demo0000.dm_68".

If I use the demo command from the console it loads the map and stops after
the 'awaiting snapshot...' message appears.

When I zip my demos into file with the ending .pk3 they work fine either way.
