missing controller in wamp advanced installation

Apologies if this has already been discussed in the group, but I could
not find it. I have an advanced installation on Windows running wamp,
which I tested first with the app folder containing webroot at the
document root and the cake libraries above the document root. The
initial test setup worked as expected. I then moved the app folder to
the same level as the cake core libraries and left the webroot folder
in the document root. This is when I began to get the missing
controller error.

My installation uses the following structure.

from Start>Run>notepad \wamp\www\testweb\index.php

if (!defined('ROOT')) {
define('ROOT', DS.'wamp'.DS.'cake'.DS.'1.3.x');
}
if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
define('APP_DIR', 'test');
}
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'wamp'.DS.'cake'.DS.'1.3.x');
}

When I load http://localhost/testweb/, I get the default home view
with four green bars. I have a controller and model set up as follows.

Start>Run>\wamp\cake\1.3.x\test\controllers\profiles_controller.php:

<?php
class ProfilesController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Profiles';
var $scaffold;
}
?>

Start>Run>\wamp\cake\1.3.x\test\models\profile.php:

<?php
class Profile extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Profile';
}
?>

When I load http://localhost/testweb/profiles, I get the missing
controller message.

CakePHP: the rapid development php framework

Missing Controller
Error: ProfilesController could not be found.

Error: Create the class ProfilesController below in file: test
\controllers\profiles_controller.php

<?php
class ProfilesController extends AppController {

var $name = 'Profiles';
}
?>
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create test\views
\errors\missing_controller.ctp

My take is that for some reason the core libraries are in scope but
the app is not, and I really have no clue as to why.

Apache returns a 200 status code on the request which suggests that
the .htaccess is set up correctly.
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Aug/2010:00:36:58 -0700] "GET /testweb/profiles HTTP/
1.1" 200 1470

My cake console works as expected, so my paths for cake and php must
be good. Seems like something internal to cake. I am very discouraged
to be fumbling around with this problem and would love it if someone
would point out what I am missing.
