just hoping the lack of replies means no-one can see anything wrong with the 301 lines so maybe there is something else in the htaccess that is causing the knock on effect. this really has me stumped!

I have recently launched a new site and want to do 301 redirects from the old pages to the new. So i am adding extra lines to the drupal htaccess file.
But if i add
redirect 301 /acatalog/index.html http://www.newdomain.co.uk/rannochsmokery/index.php redirect 301 /acatalog/Smoked_Duck_Breast.html http://www.newdomain.co.uk/rannochsmokery/smoked-meats-c-15.html
at the bottom of htacess all subsequent visits via a browser to any existing page on the site results in google saying "oops, that page doesnt exsist" - if i remove the 301s all pages are found
What am i doing wrong in my htaccess please
