OK, I don't know how but I missed Philip's post earlier:
"Is the rewrite rule within a virtual host block?"
This was exactly the problem - where I was trying Fran's suggestion
for my mod_rewrite issues, I had added a rewrite rule to a virtual
hosts block in httpd.conf, but forgotten to remove it.
Everything is now working as expected. Thanks again for all the help.
Whenever I'm stuck, there are always people here to get me unstuck :o)
