You need to look again at a regex tutorial.  Stuff inside [] is a
character class, not an arbitrary regex.  That means it will match any
one of the set of characters included in the class.  You need
something more like
RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*(?!\.(gif|jpg)))/?$ http://www.example.com/$1.html
I haven't tested that, and the negative-lookahead assertion will
certainly only work in httpd 2.x.

Another way to do this that doesn't require as much regex magic is
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(gif|jpg)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/?$ http://www.example.com/$1[R=permanent]
