Generally you put your css etc. in the webroot folder:

app/webroot

So say for example the path was 

app/webroot/css/myfile.css

Then when you include the files it would be:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/myfile.css">

Or use CakePHP shorthand

echo $this->Html->css('myfile');

If this isn't working then I'd check your .htaccess. Try in your browser to access the file directly: subdomain.maindomain.com/css/myfile.css . If this fails I'd say its the .htaccess.
