This is something that was discussed recently on the dev list - the
"go" has to be there in order for the web server and the application
to realise that something needs to be done with  the url path to make
it meaningful to the application.

Take a look at the last part of Geoff's description of the rewrite
rule here : http://docs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV30/Friendly+URL+Configuration

RewriteRule ^/go/(.*)$ /go.cfm?path=/go/$1 [L,PT]

This basically says if the url path starts with /go/ and is followed
by a string of characters then rewrite the page to /go.cfm and tell it
the url path.  go.cfm then takes the url path and turns it into
something meaningful for farcry. In other words, it looks up the
ObjectID from the friendly url.

You can change the URL prefix to be whatever you like and change your
rewrite rule to match, but there must always be something there to
manage the conversion from FU to ObjectID.

Slightly obscurely you set FU to be on in the plugins config.  I have
a sneaky suspicion that FUSettings is associated with the FU plugin,
which is now deprecated in favour of rewrite rules.
