In short you can't REDIRECT a REWRITE! :-)

Have a look though the apache manual online, there is a page somewhere 
which shows the priorities of the commands as well as priorities of 
where the commands can be.

e.g. If there are two commands in different places which one gets 
followed.  From memory, I believe that if you have a REWRITE for /data 
for the entire server (httpd.conf) and a REDIRECT for /data for a site 
(.htaccess) then apache follows the REWRITE rule.
