I am guessing that you are suggesting that I should have an AllowOverride DirectorySlash directive in my config. Unfortunately this is not a valid override, the valid ones being AuthConfig, FileInfo, Indexes, and Options. None of these seem relevant. You must therefore have meant something different, so I'd be grateful if you would post a slightly less terse reply for me.
