Maybe the .htaccess file is being read, but the rewrite rule does not match. You can't automatically assume that a rewrite rule that works in a config file works in a .htaccess file without any changes. The way to find out is to switch on rewrite logging with a high enough debug level. If you do this, you will get a lot of information on what matches are attempted, and what the results are.
