Perhaps something like this will work for you:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/*cgi-bin//*mystore//*(.*)$ /$1 [R=301]

That should inform users and search engine spiders that they should be
using "/" instead of "/cgi-bin/mystore/" from now on.  Ordinary users
will be redirected to the new URI.

Search engine spiders will take the redirect to be an indication that
the old URI is no longer valid.  They will also make a note of the new
URI for a future (usually immediate) visit.
