---- Loop trying to make Wordpress admin URL extensionless

Hi.

My problem looks simple: make my wordpress admin blog url go from > mysite/wp-admin to mysite/admin

I want to customize all my wordpress admin installation and transform urls like mysite/wp-admin/edit.php on something like mysite/admin/newpost

My problem is that i'm trapped on a loop.

here is .htacess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/

#Here we convert any URL with wp-admin on it to admin friendly url

#the line below DOESN'T resolve the loop problem!
#RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\ HTTP
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-admin/(.*)$
RewriteRule wp-admin/(.*)$ admin/$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]


#here we make the basic rewrite
RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)$ wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]



So, how to avoid this loop?

thanks for any help.

my best
