I am sure you are right, it's why I mentioned it really, here's the rule
that I swear by - not that I swear really!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L,NS]
obviously placed in some directory statement in the main
httpd-rewrites.conf file.
