Sorry, I guess by "does not work" I mean that it doesn't even match
the URL.  No change with PT.  If I watch the rewrite log (at debug
level 3) it doesn't even put the path in the URI it's trying to match
against.

I don't know why but I played around and changed the path around a
little and it worked.  :/
