Help with htaccess for Subdirectory Holding Wordpress

:D Howdy,
First off, I am glad to have found a place to ask for htaccess help. If you can help me out with this, I am more than happy to make a donation towards the site!

My site currently uses this htaccess file, and it works fine.

============================================
RewriteEngine On

redirect 301 /BWP/ http://www.example.com/bwp/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /bwp/index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^BWP/index\.php$ http://www.example.com/bwp/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(([^/]+/)*)index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.example.com/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /bwp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /bwp/ [L]
</IfModule>

redirect 301 /Blog/00-Chiropractic-Blog-List.html http://www.example.com/bwp/
redirect 301 /Blog/061119-Google-San-Diego-Chiropractic.html http://www.example.com/bwp/2006/11/goog ... ropractic/
=============================================

I have a wordpress blog installed at:
http://www.example.com/bwp/
Everything works great with the htaccess

I just installed a second wordpress blog at
http://www.example.com/gwp/

I put the following htaccess file in the example.com/gwp/
directory.

============================================

RewriteEngine On

redirect 301 /GWP/ http://www.example.com/gwp/

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /gwp/index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^GWP/index\.php$ http://www.example.com/gwp/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(([^/]+/)*)index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.example.com/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /gwp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /gwp/ [L]
</IfModule>

redirect 301 /gwp/2007/08/sample-2007/ http://www.example.com/gwp/2007/08/sample-2/
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /gwp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /gwp/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

============================================

The URLs are all turning out o.k. on the new blog at example/gwp/
except for the following.

If I open firefox and enter:
example.com/gwp/
into the address bar, it gets redirected to:
http://www.example.com

If I enter
http://www.bodyabcs.com/gwp/
it simply opens up the blog correctly.

I have been reading and studying htaccess, but it still confuses the bageebiz out of me.

I would love some help!
Thanks so much!

:P

Try this.. let me know if it works!

It turned out that I needed to change
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.example.com/%1 [R=301,L]
to
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.example.com/bwp/%1 [R=301,L]

Or if that was not it exactly it was very close. I wan in a hurry so I got help at rentacoder. I greatly apreciate your help!
