[BNM] Weird mod rewrite problem

[James Lawrie]

Are you sure it's the mod rewrite causing this? Were you getting it
before you enabled it?
Usually htpasswd errors are "Authorisation Failed", whereas forbidden
errors are caused by file permissions.
Which user is Apache running as? Does that user have access to
potter_profile.php?
To check, try to su <apacheuser> as root, and then try to cat or
execute that file.
