If this were the case wouldn't the die() cause it to print a blank page and
not a normal page of posts?

After disabling all plugins, including the one for the post type actually,
then switching to the Twenty Ten theme and placing the code in the
functions.php file this still did nothing on the main index.

After doing a bunch of looking around through WordPress files it seems that
'parse_query' filter is indeed not called on the index page. I think I may
have figured out how I can use the 'request' filter though... I'll send an
email to the list tomorow to see if anyone can verify that it's right or
wrong or what kind of issues it may have.

Thanks again for your help!
