My guess is this has something to do with relative URLs in your src="" attributes. The web browser will resolve them relative to the current document's base URL. So if your frameset is requested by the URL: http://domain.com/policy.bltmc.edu/mypage and that frameset's XSLT produces: <frame src="policy.bltmc.edu/mypage/Main_Text_Area"> then your browser will request this URL for that frame's contents: http://domain.com/policy.bltmc.edu/policy.bltmc.edu/mypage/Main_Text_Area ...which would not be matched by either of your Main_Text_Area pipelines. The search/navigation bar pipelines are matching because you use "**". To fix it either make your Main_Text_Area matcher more generic, or begin your src attributes with a "/" to make it resolve relative to the domain root. Hopefully this is the right guess. You'd be able to verify it by looking in your access logs.
