htaccess 301 redirection problem

[Michaels-r]

Hi - I am pretty new to htaccess and cannot seem to get 301 redirection working.

I have some pages that have moved and some that Google seems to be searching from a rogue sitemap file (now sorted out) that I would like to move to new pages.

My htaccess file (an extract) is as follows:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

The following 2 lines kill my site completely (404 errors) and so have been commented out for the moment

# RewriteRule ^property/66RCG/floorplan.html http://www.steinbeck-reeves.co.uk/index.html [R301.L]
# RewriteRule ^Bathrooms.html%20changefreq=monthly%20priority=1.0 http://www.steinbeck-reeves.co.uk/Bathrooms.html [R=301.L]

These don't appear to do anything...

Redirect 301 /Bathrooms.html%20changefreq=monthly%20priority=1.0 http://www.steinbeck-reeves.co.uk/Bathrooms.html
Redirect 301 /property/66RCG/floorplan.html http://www.steinbeck-reeves.co.uk/index.html

Bits at the end that do appear to work - just to show that something does!

All suggestions welcome.
