I think I figured it out. In my htaccess file, I had kept in the

Options +MultiViews

while adding the output from

/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

So if I only had the rewrite-rules.php in the htaccess and nothing else, then the permalinks work.

Finally! Thanks for all your help Trent, and fel64. I wonder what it is with the new apache version???? Oh, well, that is far above my head.
