Yet another htaccess issue

[eluser]kettch[/eluser]
Okay, this is driving me nuts so I have to have another set of eyes take a look.

I've got my htaccess working for removing the index.php portion of the URL just fine and have a default controller defined such that if you go to http://www.mywebsite.com/ it loads the default home page, and if you then click on a link that takes you to http://www.mywebsite.com/page/id/123 it also loads that page correctly.

However, what it DOESN'T do currently is correctly link the styles, scripts and images directories when the page/id/123 portion is included in the URL rather than the default. Instead of looking for them at http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.jpg it looks for http://www.mywebsite.com/page/id/images/logo.jpg which is incorrect.

Here is my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((images|styles|scripts)/*.*)$ /$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Now I'm no rewrite expert (obviously) but I could have sworn the second line would correctly redirect requests for images/logo.jpg to the URL base http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.jpg but it doesn't.

I'm sure this is something stupidly simple that I'm missing but I'm sick and still trying to get work done and this is driving me nuts. What am I doing wrong?! :question:
