Here's my code so far:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^local_links/links/(.+)/(.+) /local_links.php?catid=$1&linkid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule ^local_links/links/(.+) /local_links.php?catid=$1 [R]
RewriteRule ^local_links/jump/(.+)/(.+) /local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1&catid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule ^local_links/jump/(.+) /local_links.php?action=jump&id=$1 [R]

The directory links to local_links/links/1 but it will redirect to locallinks.php?catid=1

Anyone know what to do?

I set up a test site with the rewrite rules in my http.conf, as follows

<VirtualHost vb35>
	ServerName vb35
	DocumentRoot "C:/Documents and Settings/andrew/My Documents/Website/vb35"
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "c:/program files/apache group/apache/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+)/(.+) local_links.php?catid=$1&amp;linkid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/links/(.+)      local_links.php?catid=$1 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+)/(.+)  local_links.php?action=jump&amp;id=$1&amp;catid=$2 [R]
RewriteRule local_links/jump/(.+)       local_links.php?action=jump&amp;id=$1 [R]
</VirtualHost>

and this works fine for me.

Your code doesn't work in my http.conf, because of the carets at the start. Not sure if that helps you
