why is log statement in else clause executing?

Could it be that the contents of your website's html code references another uri on that is causing the else clause to catch? First thing I'd do is to log the http_uri value at the beginning of the rule and then look at the logs. I'd be surprised if you see the "if" log statement followed by the "else". Odds are that another uri is slipping in under the covers somewhere (that would explain why the main page is redirecting correctly). Take a look and let us know.
