Blank/Empty Album and Picture Links

I'm having an issue with my embedded Gallery2 installation.

It's very important that I'm able to locate a solution ASAP as this site needs to be online...now... :-\

I was successfully able to embed G2 into my Drupal 5.10 environment, however whenever I click on my album thumbnails within the embedded environment, the link carries me to a blank page where I had set up my Demo Content. The pictures do not open up within the Drupal environment at all.

My Drupal installation is within /root
My Gallery2 installation is within /root/pictures

Within the embedded environment, I accessed the G2 settings and changed the URL rewrite values--as per the instructions--from v/%path%/ to pictures/v/%path%/. This hasn't helped. As a matter of fact, what has happened is that the URL rewrite values inside the standalone have changed to pictures/v/%path%/ so the standalone as the files located at /root/pictures/pictures/v/albumname and the embedded environment is pointing to /root/pictures/v/albumname (which is what the ORIGINAL values were!!!) ...

Can someone please explain why this is happening and what I need to change to make this work?

My .htaccess file from the Gallery2+Drupal integration:

# BEGIN Url Rewrite section
# (Automatically generated.  Do not edit this section)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} gallery\_remote2\.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index\.php$
    RewriteRule .   -   [L]

    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /pictures/v/([^?]+)(\?.|\ .)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index\.php$
    RewriteRule .   /index.php?q=gallery&g2_path=%1   [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

And my .htaccess information from the Gallery2 standalone

# BEGIN Url Rewrite section
# (Automatically generated.  Do not edit this section)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /pictures/

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} gallery\_remote2\.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/pictures/main\.php$
    RewriteRule .   -   [L]

    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /pictures/pictures/v/([^?]+)(\?.|\ .)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/pictures/main\.php$
    RewriteRule .   /pictures/main.php?g2_path=%1   [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

# END Url Rewrite section

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something very simple. Just not certain what that is!
Thank you...
