You should not need root access to use the basic mod_rewrite functionality, assuming your host allows you to override those directives. Otherwise you can only use it if you make the changes in the main httpd.conf file. Double check that your syntax is correct, and make sure you are not trying to do any logging. I remember something about logs being a bit flaky and crashing a lot. If anything try |RewriteLogLevel 0.
