.htaccess RewriteRule problem

[Satviewers]

Hi,

I am using 'Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs => .htaccess' off vbulletin.com http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?325798

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks

### THIS IS A LITTLE EXTRA SECURITY AND CAN BE REMOVED

RewriteRule ^includes/(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^vb/(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^packages/(.*) index.php

### THIS IS THE ACTUAL REWRITE

RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^members/([0-9]+) member.php?u=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^forums/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) forumdisplay.php?f=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^blogs/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) blog.php?u=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^entries/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) entry.php?b=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^list/([^/]*/)([0-9]+) list.php?r=$1$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^content/(.*) content.php?r=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^widget/config/([0-9]+) widget.php?r=config/$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

I have integrated a shop into vb, when I put the .htaccess into the root folder the css and images and possible more stopped working.

Basically if you go to www.example.com/osc_shop.php that file calls packages/shop/index.php or if you go to www.example.com/osc_install.php it calls packages/shop/osc_install/install.php

Is there a way to get the RewriteRule to ignore the packages/shop/ folder, so that it can work as it originally did.
Or is there a way to get the rewriteRule to work in this folder.

If I remove RewriteRule ^packages/(.*) index.php
it works fine, but I don't want to remove this.

Thanks.
