IIS7 Rewrites driving me mad!!!

[1DMF]

I don't seem to be able to get the IIS7 rewite engine working.

I create a rule as follows...

Match URL

Matches the patern 
using wildcards
pattern = *.co.uk*

I use the 'test patten' option with '

http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.htm'

I get test matched OK, I tried the test '

http://www.mydomain.co.uk/'

again test matches ok, and shows {R:2} as the back reference variable that will hold the rest of the URL after the .uk

...so far so good.

Then onto the condition....
Match All

{HTTP_HOST}
matches the pattern
pattern = *.co.uk*

tested with above input, again test matched and shows {C:2} as the back reference variable that will hold the rest of the URL after the .uk

again looking good.

so onto the redirect part...

Redirect

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mydomain.com/{R:2}[/URL]
301

but all it does is send it to .com without the trailing parameter {R:2}

I've tried {R:0} , {R:1} , {R:2}, {C:0}, {C:1}, {C:2} nothing works?

All it does is redirect to

http://www.mydomain.com

and ignores the rest of the URL?

Why won't this work?

Thanks,1DMF
