Just out of curiosity, is this a direct copy/paste of what's in your 
config/.htaccess? If so, it might just be a syntax error. I'm pretty 
certain that it should be {HTTP_REFERER} (curly braces), at least I've 
never tried it with parentheses or seen it documented that way. That's 
the only thing I can see wrong with it offhand, though I'm not so good 
with Rewrite rules from scratch, I keep all that crap documented in the 
wiki at work.

You did spell Referrer the apache way though! That's the other common 
mistake I see people making :)
