Minor note: you've written the above entry twice.

Should this be "baseUrlFilter.baseUrl"?

Also, I thought it was supposed to be a full URL, as in
"http://cherrypy/".

I have a nearly identical setup which is working fine, but I don't have 
the above RewriteCond line at all.  (I'm a rookie at Apache, however, so 
it could well be useful in some situation I don't have: I don't seem to 
need it however.)

Other than the two comments above re baseUrl, I have the same thing and 
it's working fine.
