In addition to Jon's comment, are you sure you copied the .htaccess file properly? I know it sounds stupid and is probably one of the things you've checked (I'm inferring from your post), but.... I've been guilty of this a few times when doing drag and drops - without the hidden files visible.
Also, make sure the .htaccess file is readable by the account that is running apache. i.e. on my box, the file is owned by apache:apache (user:group).
