Problems w/ before_filter getting ignored

Hello,
    I''m setting up an authentication module that will be called from
application.rb.      I want to save a rrequest.request_uri into a
session to be used as a place holder that
will take users back to the page they were on before they logged in.
I''m trying to call the store_location method for all methods EXCEPT
login by putting login in an except before filter.

For some reason, when I login the last request.request_uri address that
is stored in the session is /login.     For some reason, the
store_location method is still getting called when the login method is
called and then throws a "Redirect Loop" message in the brower

Here''s the authentication module code:
[code]
module Authentication
  def store_location
    session[''return-to''] = request.request_uri
  end

  def login
    user = User.find_authenticated_user(params[:username],
params[:password])
    unless user.blank? || user.nil?
      session[:user] = user
    end
    redirect_to store_location
  end
end

and here''s the code I have so far in application.rb
[/code]

[code]
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  before_filter :verify_user, :except => :login
  before_filter :store_location, :except => :login

  include Authentication

  helper :all # include all helpers, all the time
  # See ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection for details
  # Uncomment the :secret if you''re not using the cookie session store
  protect_from_forgery #:secret =>
''f2966dd9b280aee941288062544d2aa9''

  def index
  end
end
[/code]

Any ideas how I can make this work?

Thanks,
Clem
