I am very new to this, but I noticed one thing that may apply here;
I see the rewrite rules in .htaccess, but I see no conditions.

Here is my .htaccess, which works to perform rewrite:
(subdomain replaced by "sub", domain replaced by "example")

RewriteEngine on

##Following 3 lines original to install
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.sub.example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sub.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/sub [R=301,L]

## These lines added to clean urls
RewriteBase /sub
RewriteRule ^$           index.php  [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php$  index.php  [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)         index.php?n=$1  [QSA,L]
