For debugging (and *only* for debugging; do not do this on a production
server), set:

RewriteLog /path/to/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9

mod_rewrite's debug logging is quite verbose, and should help you
isolate the issue. As an aside, the parentheses around the IP address in
your regex are not needed, and may result in a slight performance hit.
