Help with url rewriting

[LeftBrainStudio]

I can't figure out why my url rewriting isn't working. Please help.

I have an .htaccess file in /public_html that contains the following:

Options +FollowSymLinks All
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule work/(.*) work.php?piece=$1

I'm trying to get:
domain.com/work.php?piece=name
to rewrite as:
domain.com/work/name

Any thoughts?

Ok, I figured it out. I ended up having to write it as:

Options +FollowSymLinks All
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^work-(.*)$ work.php?piece=$1

For some reason I couldn't get the directory display method to work (i.e.: work/piece).

I have literally this on one of my sites:

RewriteEngine on

# News archive
RewriteRule ^(rus|eng)/news/$ news.php?lng=$1 [L,QSA]

# Download center
RewriteRule ^(rus|eng)/download/$ download/?lng=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(rus|eng)/download/([a-z]+\.php)$ download/$2?lng=$1 [L,QSA]

# Feedback script
RewriteRule ^(rus|eng)/dialog/feedback/$ feedback.php?lng=$1 [L,QSA]

.. and I swear that it IS working
