Wordpress cannot update .htaccess | RSS URL problems

    I have Wordpress installation (Ver. 2.0.1) that's been giving me headaches the last few days.

    Here is what's happening:

    In the admin panel I have set the permalink options (OPTIONS --> PERMALINK --> ) to the "Date and name based" option in the options list. My URLS are re-written to look like this: /blog/wordpress/index.php/2006/05/14/sample-post/

    All URLs seem to work OK despite the fact that wordpress does not update the .htaccess file in installation root: /wordpress/ -- the .htaccess remains blank even when CHMODED to 777.

    While the URLs seem to work fine the RSS FEED URLs generated for the MAIN FEED & COMMENTS are blank when viewed in a browser or a feed aggregator. Here is the feed format: /blog/wordpress/index.php/feed/ .

    The same format appears in the the automatically generated AUTO-DISCOVERY tags, meaning the search engines are essentially picking nothing.

    What heck is happening here?

    Any solutions ladies & gentlemen?

    Note: The default RSS feed URLs work fine:

    Main Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=rss2
    Comments Feed: /blog/wordpress/?feed=comments-rss2

    you can update .htaccess manually and have it chmodded 0664 or even 0644 to feel safer) -- wp tells you needs to be there
