Okay, does anyone know where bbpress decides what the mod_rewrite linkks should be – I;ve tried editing .htaccess – but that just links back to site.com/forum/water-cooler

Not sure I follow your problem description. mod_rewrite rules are in the .htaccess file normally. You set the option to use mod_rewrite true, false or slugs in config.php. Are you asking where in the code the links are created based on those choices in config.php?
