htaccess Elite

I am still very new to .htaccess files so what I have is grabbed from online help sites. The problem that I am having is that when I turn the RewriteEngine on it makes it so that my awstats page is forbidden (403 error).

Here is the code

-------------------------------------------------------------
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L,NC]

ServerSignature EMail
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN mailto:myemail@hotmail.com

Options -Indexes
-------------------------------------------------------

I have tried tried commenting everything else out (including the rewrite rules and cond) but even with a file that only has a the RewriteEngine on the awstats is still forbidden

Awstats is located at /awstats/awstats.pl <- symlink

Thanks for any help!

Someone said that is might be my virtual host. I have gone through the file but have found nothing that would cause my awstats from loading. Here is the file

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Again the problem is that when I have the rewriteEngine on in the root directory the website address changes correctly but I can't seem to access the awstats page. As soon as I comment out the rewriteEngine, awstats works again... Argh!
