Rewrite question

Hi

I am having trouble with my rewrite settings.
I did not do the initial setup, so I am not sure if this is the proper
way to do all what I want.

What I want it to do is:

1. redirect http://kanji.server.com to
http://server.com/main/staticpages/index.php/kanji/

2. redirect /stats/ to /cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl

3. redirect /main/staticpages/index.php?page=whatever
into /main/staticpages/index.php/whatever

The settings I have do everything just fine except point number 3.
I have no idea why. Are there any unnecessary settings I have? Anything
conflicting?
I know there is a setting that translates subdomains into subdirectories
in the end, and as long this does not disturb the other settings, I dont
care about it...

so what is wrong? How can I get point 3 to work??

this is my rewrite setting:

# --------

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*/[^/.]+)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1/ [R,L]

RewriteRule ^/main/staticpages/index\.php\?page\=(.*)$
/main/staticpages/index.php/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/stats/?$ /cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl [L,R]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^kanji.server.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^kanji.server.com
http://server.com/main/staticpages/index.php/kanji/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.server.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^kanji.server.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+.server.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+).server.com(.*) /$1/$2

# -----

thanks

Actually I now found out I have t owork with the query string in this case.
However, I could not fin dout how to use only the value of the page in the
result of the rewrite

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

This does not work...
what is the correct way? How do I return the value behind the = into the
result?

thanks

3rd attempt: I am getting further there, but there is one last glitch:

I am using now

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?page=(chart2)$

which works with

RewriteRule ^(.*)? $1?%1%2%3 [R=301,L]

but gives http://server.com/main/staticpages/index.php?chart2

to get http://server.com/main/staticpages/index.php/chart2, I tried

RewriteRule ^(.*)? $1/%1%2%3 [R=301,L]

but this wont work at all. the browser gets stuck

any idea?
