My last post was the result of making a beginners mistake and spending a lot of time being unable to resolve the issue.  Since I am using IIS 6 on XP/2003 I have to add .mvc to my controller paths to activate the ASP.NET MVC framework on a URL.  I was doing this and my controllers were working except for the / path of the web site. 

ASP.NET MVC still needs a default.aspx in the root of the web site.  The default.aspx just performs a redirect to the URL of whatever controller you are using for the site root. I had not changed the URL that default.aspx was redirecting to.  Once I changed the URL the redirect was using my problem was fixed.  I want to give a shout out to the official ASP.NET MVC forum for the help I got there.  Its nice to see that a Microsoft product is building an actual community around this technology as that more than anything will help it grow and evolve.
