ENOENT ERROR when file exists?

I'm running this Express app:

var express = require("express");
var favicon = require("serve-favicon");
var path = require("path");
var app = express();

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/private/'));

app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(__dirname + "/public/index.html");
    console.log("Visited "+req.url);
});

app.get("/products", function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "/public/products.html"));
    console.log("Visited "+req.url);
});

app.get("/join", function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + "/public/join.html");
    console.log("Visited "+req.url);
});

app.get("*", function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(__dirname + "/public/404.html");
    console.log("Visited "+req.url);
});

app.listen(8080);

and am trying to go to the /products tab, and am getting this error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/home/ubuntu/workspace/public/products.html'
at Error (native)

this file exists. And as far as I can tell, I'm running everything right. So why is this happening? Is it because I'm using Cloud9 IDE? Or some other error?

Check if the user executing the program has read permission over the file.
