Haha. I don't know how your Apache server is configured, but I've been tripped by such little things, in the past.
Another one that may be obvious is ... is your WordPress rewrite configuration in a .htaccess file in your WordPress theme directory? And if so, are you sure it is being seen by Apache? The new default for the AllowOverride directive in newer versions (from 2.3.9) of Apache is "None".

I know it is enabled. When I disable it, I get errors like below so I am sure :-)

Are you sure mod_rewrite is enabled? If not, you can comment out the IfModule directive, and see if you get an error.
