That's not it...  Joel is trying to match query string items from the old URL, but apache's rewriterule directive doesn't present them to be matched.  You have to match the query string in a RewriteCond directive, and then match the main part of the URL in the immediately following Rewrite rule.  Details are here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond

I'm not a cPanel person, so you're on your own to figure out how to tell it to use both a condition and rule.

HTH,
