It sure does sound like the typical behavior when mod_rewrite isn't installed or is not configured correctly.

This doesn't look like what's in CakePHP's repository:

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/app/webroot/.htaccess

Specifically:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]

Note the "?"

Finally, I'd forget .htaccess files completely; just move that code into your http.conf and turn off .htaccess processing; it'll speed up your server slightly.
