I rely on Apache's lookback quite a bit and never have any trouble even 
across numerous hosts. Maybe take a close look at the script/parse 
instructions and your placement of the "?" in that query string. I think 
you need safe mode off for image magik, right?

Maybetry a lookback example using a basic test script, before debugging 
the image magik scripts?
