mod rewrite not completely working

I don't know what i am doing wrong but some of my rewrites are working while others are not.

Basically i am trying to redirect some old wordpress post links to the new ExpressionEngine website posts.
Now I disabled the .htaccess file in the blog folder where wordpress was installed (it was rewriting blog/index.php to blog/) and i have one large .htaccess file in the root.

In that .htaccess the following lines of code that redirect actual .html files work just fine. The link gets redirected and the url gets updated.


RewriteRule ^example-text.html$ http://www.example.com/index.php/category/example-text/ [R=301,L]

Then later on in the same file I use the same technique to redirect the old wordpress blog links:


RewriteRule ^blog/2007/03/example-text/$ http://www.example.com/index.php/blog/example-text/ [R=301,L]
---AND I TRIED ----
RewriteRule ^http://www.example.com/blog/2007/03/example-text/$ http://www.example.com/index.php/blog/example-text/ [R=301,L]
---I ALSO TRIED ---
RewriteRule ^blog/index.php/2007/03/example-text/$ http://www.example.com/index.php/blog/example-text/ [R=301,L]

Those rewrites just dont work. They get the user to the website, but to some random page, not the post where it should be rewriting to.

Can someone please give me a hand, I dont know what is going on.

thanks

Adam
