Thanks for posting the answer. People often follow up with just "Never
mind--figured it out", which is not very useful to someone with the
exact same problem reading the question in the archives a few weeks
later.

I figured it out...I was uploading the files from the "history"
subdirectory when I should have been leaving the folder structure in
place.

[dave_defusion]

I haven't had any issues with browsermanager/deep linking either, but
I've not gotten to the stage where I really thrash it via testing.

As mentioned earlier the other alternative is to use SWFAddress, here
is an implementation that allows you to use your existing browser
manager code with SWFAddress
(http://developer.iconara.net/objectlib/flex-browsermanager-swfaddress.html)
 I haven't tested that yet though.

Please file bugs if you have simple test cases.
