MattCauth is correct that you have a loop.

But, the solution is to first test whether the redirect has already occurred. Also, you can speed you expression up using a class. 

 
 class my_class { 
    "/wbaTermsAccept" 
    "/wbaTermsReview" 
 } 
 rule myrule { 
    if (http_uri starts_with "/wbacustomer") { 
       use pool uatwbacustomer 
    } 
    else if (http_uri == one of my_class) { 
       redirect to "http://%h/wbacustomer/%u" 
    } 
    else { 
       use pool uatwbacustomer 
    } 
 }
