Can't seem to access favicon.ico - probably htaccess related

[eluser]Richard Testani[/eluser]
I'm not sure why, but my favicon doesn't seem to load, whether as part of a page or direct access.

Here is my htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

#Allow these urls to be accessed
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|assets|user_guide|css|js|images|forum|press|robots\.txt|favico\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

This would seemingly allow access to the file, as I can access any of the others in the list properly.
Any ideas what would be the issue here?
