Yeah, unfortunately the rewrite rule generating code isn't connected with
the link generating code.

Not necessarily a filter... the 'rewrite' argument should accept a permalink
structure, instead of just true/false, but that's something for 3.1 maybe.



add_filter('post_type_link','

I would replace

if (strpos($link,'financial-terms/')!==false)

with

if ( 'financial-term' == get_post_type($id) )
