I'm not really sure I completely understand the differences 
myself...I generally use the "\@<!" form for most things, but it 
didn't work here, and changing them solved my problem.  Hurray 
for trial-and-error. :)

Vim's help is top-notch.  Just about every facet you can think of 
is contained within.  Finding it can be a bit more troublesome, 
especially if you know what you want, but don't know how Vim 
implements it.  Using ":helpgrep" and tab/^D expansion after 
typing ":help subject can help get you pointed in the right 
direction.

   :help :helpgrep
   :help {subject}
