500 error using htaccess mod rewrite

[TRANSFORM]

Hello. Moving an apache site over to litespeed. The apache site used modwrite to take the index.php out of the url.

I have enabled .htaccess in Litespeed
I have allowed effectively 'AllowOverride All'
I have put the .htaccess file in the root of the site

As soon as I turn on the redirect rule website starts providing a SERVER 500 – Internal Server Error page.

The Litespeed Admin console reports –

2011-08-29 06:21:01.618
ERROR [192.168.42.30:36636-0#scas] Maximum number of redirect reached.

Here are the contents of the htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 110M
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond $1 !^(admin\.php|download\.php|apple-touch-icon\.png|downloads|export|favicon\.ico|images|images-css|index\.php|js|system|template|themes) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sacramento.aero/index.php/$1 [L]
