Weird, so that missing "/" at the end would have fixed my issue? I
-think- on a quick check it has. I thought I tried that earlier and it
didn't help!

Yeah, I've tried this before too, executing rewrites before the
location block and such. I can't really do it here - I could do it
-inside- of the location block however, if needed. This current host
supports a ton of other rewrites and it could get confusing and/or
break something if I did any more rewrites outside of the location
block!

Thanks Maxim!
