I forget the technical details of this. It has to do with your path structure. Not having the pagename.xsp there.
There are ways to deal with this more from a coding perspective..... But maybe the easiest way is to just avoid the url without the page name.
Create a new page called start.xsp or something. Use that as your launch page. In that page in something like beforePageLoad do a context.redirectToPage("home.xsp").... something like that.
That should solve your problem.
