It was actually leaving the URL alone unless a directory was specified
without a trailing slash. In adding the slash, it also added the www.
at the beginning of the URL. I figured the following RewriteRule would
fix it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

I don't think that will cause problems elsewhere.
