I don't understand what you mean that it doesn't pick it up. What happens when you do a .htaccess with that in the main directory of the site? It certainly should work.
Redirect 301 /data http://www.example.com/datastore

The other way to go would be a rewrite rule.
Plenty of examples of that in a Google search.
