Mod rewrite help

I have mod rewrites that change my dynamic url to "Product_100" etc. Works great.

I just did a dumb thing with google sitemaps though (misunderstood directions from the sitemap generator...don't ask) and submitted an url list that looks like this:

[mydomain.com...] changefreq=weekly priority=1.0
[mydomain.com...] changefreq=weekly priority=0.9

The problem is that Google was able to get these pages, so I'm going to have duplicate entries when they're indexed. I've tried
"Redirect Permanent /Product_100%20changefreq=weekly%20priority=0.9 [mydomain.com...]
with them, but that isn't working (I guess because there's already a mod rewrite affecting these urls).

How do I redirect these urls with the appended " changefreq=weekly priority=0.9" back to the regular ones?

I haven't familiarized myself with google sitemaps yet, but can't you just re-submit the sitemap with the corrected urls?
I would think that any fallout from your mistake should work itself out without problems.

I wish. Apparently Google just adds to the indexed URLS, doesn't remove anything.

Maybe those pages are good candidates for the Google URL Removal Tool... just thinking outloud.
