Dynamic CSS/JS Files Not Working

[eluser]Bluemill Media[/eluser]
Thanks Randy

I'm actually grabbing the instance of the $StoreTools object elsewhere in the project (From outside of CodeIgniter...I know, ugh...but there is a method to my madness ). I can access and use the methods from the object just fine...the problem is that my external files aren't being applied. So, this leads me to believe that the problem is either somewhere in my .htaccess or in relation to caching.

The former seems to be supported by the fact that I'm able to get the files to work great if I reference them directly (i.e. /system/app-shop/views/Red/styles/main.css)...with the Dynamic option (/shop/lorren/styles/main.css) firebug gives me a 404 error in the net panel. The problem there is I need the app to appear to provide host-level domain functionality.
