You do not need a RewriteCond here, the RewriteRule directive is perfectly
capable of capturing the request uri path.
If you don't want the URL to change, then perhaps you should use AliasMatch
instead of mod_rewrite. If you want to change the URL, use RedirectMatch
instead.
Using mod_rewrite should be the last resort, and if chosen, using the
rewrite log to debug would help.
