---- Does the leading / make any difference?

I've heard that some robots treat Disallows that don't have a leading slash as though they do, but I can't really confirm that.

The standard says to put a leading slash every time, so that's what I do. I don't see anything wrong with your syntax, so I don't think you should have any problems.
