Add NS (No Sub requests) to the last rewrite rule should solve it
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm?course=%{REQUEST_URI} [NS,QSA,L]
>I've found an issue with mod_rewrite and expandPath() recently and
>I'm wondering if anyone has a solution. It seems that Coldfusion
>uses Apache to pull the directory information with expandPath().
>This is the case on Linux (CentOS and SUSE 10), at least, since I

>For example, I have the following rewrite rules:

>RewriteEngine on
>#General Rewrites
>RewriteRule ^$ index.cfm [QSA]
>RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.htm [QSA]
>#Escape if file or directory exists
>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
>#Redirect all other requests through index.cfm
>RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm?course=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
