>Description:
A Simple rewrite rule.  With this rule in place, .htaccess files do not work.  

RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}               !^/~(.*)$
RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}               !^/cgi-bin/(.*)$
RewriteRule   ^/(.*)        http://welcome.golden.net/$1 [R,L]

Tried diabling rewrite engine -- htaccess works.
Enabled engine, no rules -- htaccess works.
Plop in the above rule -- htaccess immediatly returns a 401 error.
Tried IE5 vs Communicator -- no diff.

here is a level 5 rewrite snippit:
