You haven't written the actual rule here -- it look like you might be 
going /(match) /new-url$1

You'll likely get some good help with this on the Drupal site (which I 
recognize this .htaccess fragment from). Also, you could install the 
"redirect" module. Yes, it says to use .htaccess if you can, but the 
redirect module is certainly easier to use...

In the meantime, this page might prove useful:
