Set your RewriteLogLevel to 3 and your then tail your RewriteLog to see why

I had already set the debug level to 9 (from the Dispatch docs) to see what was going on. As I said the rewrite logs seem to indicate that the mapping is occurring as expected but it is trying to load a real file. Here is an example. I wrote into my browser: http://www.petnuch.com/ main/main which I wanted to get mapped to app/main/main. Here is the info:
