mod_rewrite confusion

[ucbones]

Hi,

I have the following two rewrite rules:

RewriteRule ^{events/calendar([/]?)$} events/calendar.php

which redirects everyone asking for events/calendar/ to events/calendar.php

I also need the following rule:

RewriteRule ^{events\/([/|calendar])([/]?)$} php-bin/events.php?name=$1

Which is meant to say, rewrite everyone asking for events/anything to php-bin/events.php?name=anything, unless they ask for events/calendar

But it doesn't seem to work, the problem is in the second rule, any ideas?
