Awesome WM's tags show as "..."

I have the icons in the directory, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, Any idears?

What do you mean by "icons in the directory?" Do you mean the "occupied" and "active" icons for your tags (like the little squares in the corner)?

Looks like you blindly copied someone else's config without customising it to your machine.
Might be a good idea to start with an empty (i.e. default) config and add the things you would like take from the other config.

Without having looked at your config, I suspect that theme.confdir in your theme.lua is the culprit. Just a quick guess.

It's the defualt, I changed the theme (Moved the theme into the directory ~/.config/awesome with the icons), changed the tags and the menu thing that comes up when you do mod4+w.
Here is a screenshot of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/Mb5KG.png.
Is there any other infomation you might need?

It's probably something to do with your rc.lua. A mistake there usually brings up the ... ... instead of the proper tag names/icons. A quick guess but on line 65 of your rc.lua replace it with "awful.layout.suit.floating" instead of "awful.layout.suit.float". You don't use that layout, but the fact that there isn't a float category might have broken it. If that doesn't work, try replacing it with a default rc.lua and slowly replacing it with your new code to see what messes it up.
