forget baseURL. you don't need it in this case.

if you use this your path beginns at your domain root.

if you use something like this in your CSS (no leading '/'):

background-image: url('fileadmin/template/main/img/header_eng.png');

the browser tries this path relative to the path where the CSS is 
included. if you include it in your TYPO3-HTML/PHP-File it will be the 
root of your TYPO-installation (and that might be a subdir of your domain)

but if you include the CSS from a subdir (I use fileadmin/css/) the path 
in the CSS-Statement is relative to the path of teh CSS-file. As my 
images are in fileadmin/img/ I can use something like:

background-image: url('../img/header_eng.png');
