Not sure I understand what you are attempting, but just to review, the 
intent of the FullURL directive ***as I understand it*** is to allow one IC 
server to run multiple catalogs with the same script name (i.e.: CGI_URL), 
provided of course that each is accessed with a different URI, i.e.:

http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/store
http://www.myhome.com/cgi-bin/store
http://store.domain.com/cgi-bin/store

...would be three different catalogs on the same server. The Catalog 
directives in interchange.cfg might look like this:

Catalog  store /home/domain.com/catalogs/store  /cgi-bin/store
Catalog  store /home/myhome.com/catalogs/store  /cgi-bin/store
Catalog  store /home/store.domain.com/catalogs/store  /cgi-bin/store

Note that they could all share the same actual cgi link file; Interchange 
would determine which CATROOT to use based on the full URL of the http request.

Does it work? Dunno, never tried it. Am I wrong about all of this? Quite 
possibly ;-)
