Javascript/CSS from module not loading I am using a custom module (copied from a site where it is working)

The module's .info file is as follows: 

name = jCarousel Rotator
description = An image rotator implementing the jCarousel jQuery plugin
package = mymodules
core = 7.x

stylesheets[all][] = css/jcarousel_rotator.css
scripts[] = js/jquery.jcarousel.min.js
scripts[] = js/jcarousel_rotator.js


But none of these files are loading.  The theme I'm in is made from scratch.. is there something that needs to be added to the template.php for those include hooks to work?

I searched all the code of the old site and the files are not being explicitly loaded elsewhere.

I have been able to load the files by adding the code manually to the footer, but this is not a great way to have a module integrated.

As requested, my html.tpl.php is as follows:

&lt;?php include 'header.php'; ?&gt;
&lt;?php echo $page; ?&gt;
&lt;?php include 'footer.php'; ?&gt;
Based on your edit including html.tpl.php, I agree with Chapa that's it very, umm, "Un-Drupaly".  This is the default system rendering of html.tpl.php:

&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="&lt;?php print $language-&gt;language; ?&gt;" version="XHTML+RDFa 1.0" dir="&lt;?php print $language-&gt;dir; ?&gt;"&lt;?php print $rdf_namespaces; ?&gt;&gt;

&lt;head profile="&lt;?php print $grddl_profile; ?&gt;"&gt;
  &lt;?php print $head; ?&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php print $head_title; ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;?php print $styles; ?&gt;
  &lt;?php print $scripts; ?&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body class="&lt;?php print $classes; ?&gt;" &lt;?php print $attributes;?&gt;&gt;
  &lt;div id="skip-link"&gt;
    &lt;a href="#main-content" class="element-invisible element-focusable"&gt;&lt;?php print t('Skip to main content'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;?php print $page_top; ?&gt;
  &lt;?php print $page; ?&gt;
  &lt;?php print $page_bottom; ?&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;


You see where it says:

&lt;?php print $styles; ?&gt;
&lt;?php print $scripts; ?&gt;


That's where Drupal dumps your JavaScript and CSS files.  If you're not making those calls chances are you're not going to get any included files.  I guess to verify this you'd also have to edit in your header.php and footer.php files so we can see what they contain.  This is where you want to start looking.

I recommend backing up your existing html.tpl.php file to somewhere, and then overwriting it with the system version of it, which can be found at modules/system/html.tpl.php relative to the root directory of your site on your system.
