I have implemented the "able2know" mod which is basicly the same as the one at the begining of the thread, but it didnt work. i have manually tested the URIs htaccess is supposed to take care of and they come out fine. so something must be going wrong in the page_header. i have also tried deleting the lines as advised on page4 of this thread (marked in red)
(http://www.seo-guy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119&page=4&pp=10)
below are my htaccess and page_header:
