Comment(by dd32):

 {{{
 [ "siteurl" ]=> string(33) " http://www.domain.com"
 [ "home" ]=> string(38) " http://www.domain.com/test"
 }}}

 That is what is causing your issues.

 The Site URL and Home url are supposed to be used for when the WordPress
 files exist in a subdirectory of where you want the home url to be.

 Ie:
 {{{
 siteurl => http://dd32.id.au/wordpress/
 home => http://dd32.id.au/
 }}}

 That'll cause the exact issue you're seeing I think..
