per URI jsessionid persistence

I am trying to enable persistence on the JSESSIONID cookie but only for a specific URI under the VIP. I altered the CodeShare JSESSIONID persitence example a bit to fit my scenario.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  switch -glob $header_uri {
          /path1* {
          pool pool1
          }
          /path2* {
          pool pool2
          }
          /path3* {
          pool pool3
          }
          /path4* {
          set persist_jsessionid 1
            if {[HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] ne ""}{
              persist uie [string tolower [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]] 3600
            }
          pool pool4
          }
  }
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  if {$persist_jsessionid}{
    if {[HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] ne ""} {
      persist add uie [string tolower [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]] 1800
    }
  }
}

what i am seeing is that EVERYTHING is persisting to the pool4 member rather than following the irule to send it to the appropriate pool. I have a oneconnect profile associated to the VIP and it has a 255.255.255.255 mask.

I set the persist_jsessionid variable trying to have it only persist for that specific URI but, same behavior. Any ideas?
