Era, Your analysis helped, as the suggestion concerning the space caused me to cast my eye more carefully at the rules - it turned out that the problem was a second form of the address containing "djtaz01" - one that was encapsulated in angle brackets! So, of course it didn't match.
I added a second rule, and now it works perfectly. Thank-you for your response!
