iRule redirect - change domain, path but keep unique ID

I'm having trouble getting an iRule right that redirects domain, modifies path, but maintains a trailing unique identifier. I intend to redirect:     http://documents.test.com/retrieve.asp?guid...

Sorry, there was a missing double quote: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check for requests to /retrieve.asp
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] eq "/retrieve.asp"}{

       Redirect the request to /Servicepages/RetrieveDocument.aspx 
       with the guid parameter value set as did
      HTTP::redirect "/Servicepages/RetrieveDocument.aspx?did=[URI::query "?&[HTTP::query]" &guid]"
   }
}

Michael, the ?&[HTTP::query] and &guid parts are necessary to work around a bug in the URI::query command. See the bottom of the URI::query wiki page for details:
