In your httpd.conf place the following two lines where log formats and
locations are defined, and adjust the path accordingly:

RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9

The change requires a restart of Apache. The log should give you some
output to work with as it shows you what parameter gets read and
interpreted in what way. Careful, it is very verbose, so I wouldn't
leave it switched on for long.
