Rails - Aug 2006 - Rewrite problem?

I''m not able to access anything in public, everything seems to be going
through the rails router. As a result, I can''t get to stylesheets or 
javascript.

I''m not quite clear if this is a .htaccess problem, or a router
problem.
I eliminated the "catchall" route, so the last route is

  map.connect '':controller/:action/:id''

My .htaccess file looks like

---------------------------------------------------------------------

# General Apache options
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
#AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

# If you don''t want Rails to look in certain directories,
# use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won''t rewrite certain 
requests
#
# Example:
#   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*
#   RewriteRule .* - [L]

# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
# By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow
#
# For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one
#
# Example:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
RewriteEngine On

# If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,
# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.
#
# Example:
#   Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public
#   RewriteBase /myrailsapp

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]

# In case Rails experiences terminal errors
# Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which 
will be rendered instead
#
# Example:
#   ErrorDocument 500 /500.html

ErrorDocument 500 ''<h2>Application error</h2>Rails
application failed to
start properly''

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help is appreciated.

I had some issues at first that seemed to all go away after I moved the
line...
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

to be the very last ReWriteRule
