Surely, if you have <Location /store>, your RewriteRule would have to
look more like "^/store/foo/(.*)$" instead of "^/foo/(.*)$".

I have websites with rewrites and mod_interchange working together.
Mostly these rewrites are to change an old URI (such as "/cgi-bin/shop")
to a new one (such as "/") for temporary backward compatibility with
search engine listings. Make sure you have RewriteEngine switched on.
I've not tried [PT] with mod_interchange, but I can't think of any
reason why it'd fail. Maybe I'll give it a try later.
Ignoring all of the above for a moment: why are you using RewriteRule
for this anyway? Try an ActionMap instead.
