This is going back a while, but I remember having a similar problem
which I _think_ I solved by using the full URL of the start point in
the config file. And this meant I had to use a specific entry for
limit_urls_to, thus:
#
start_url: http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/navpage.html
#
# This attribute limits the scope of the indexing process. The default is to
# set it to the same as the start_url above. This way only pages that are on
# the sites specified in the start_url attribute will be indexed and it will
# reject any URLs that go outside of those sites.
#
# Keep in mind that the value for this attribute is just a list of string
# patterns. As long as URLs contain at least one of the patterns it will be
# seen as part of the scope of the index.
#
limit_urls_to: http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au
# ${start_url}
This quite cheerfully indexes my site.
Cheers
