Based on those log entries, the rewrite worked fine.

Perhaps you're dealing with DirectorySlash here.

Notice the last line redirected to itself, causing an infinite loop of redirects.

I also wanted to add that, given the RewriteCond rule may be working correctly, how can I change it to accommodate query strings, or this particular query string?

Thanks,
Dave

If your rules are in .htaccess, the latter file will be parsed over and over until it stops matching, so use the appropriate RewriteCond to break that loop, or better yet, edit your vhost instead.

DirectorySlash off won't help you if the user decides to add the "/" to the URI and you want to remove it, for some reason. It will also break other things.
