I'm not sure how the myqueue/ part is implemented, but I had this
problem with http://www.wherever.com/rt not working, but /rt/ working.

I had:

ScriptAlias /rt /opt/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

I wanted:

ScriptAlias /rt /opt/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/

This required:

+++ rt-esmith/webrt/autohandler      Wed May  1 11:59:57 2002

 #if it's a noauth file, don't ask for auth.
-if ($m->base_comp->path =~ '^/NoAuth/') {
+if ($m->base_comp->path =~ '^/+NoAuth/') {
         $m->call_next();
        $m->abort();
 }

Hope that helps,
