This will need to exist ABOVE the WordPress rewrite block.  In fact,  
you might want to put a comment below the WP rewrite block:

The reason for this is that WP's rewrite rules act as a sort of  
"catchall."  Anything that hasn't matched a rewrite rule yet and  
points to a file that doesn't exist, gets sucked up by WordPress'  
rewrite rules.  So your rule wouldn't ever get matched down below it.
