To start, don't put the Redirect/RewriteRule directives inside a
section. That's just adding complication. (For example,
are you really sure that those requests are hitting that directory?)
If it still doesn't work after you fix that, show us access and error
log info along with the complete info.

I looked in the logs for any indication as to why it would be failing, but the last write to the access
 and error logs were several hours ago.  Not sure why it isn't updating.  Here is the complete vhost config (post change):

                Redirect permanent /paybill.html https://secure.digital-pipe.com/paybill.html
