Question for iPhototoGallery Users

Hello, everyone. I've read several times that the trick to getting iPhotoToGallery to work is:

1) Upgrade Gallery to 2.2.3
2) Upgrade Remote plugin to 1.0.9 or better
3) Add "SecFilterEngine Off" to the .htaccess file.

I've got a fresh install of 2.2.4 with Remote 1.0.9.1, however tampering with .htaccess in the gallery root folder brings down the site. Altering .htaccess in the g2data folder has no effect. The iPhoto plugin was working in Gallery 2.2.2, but no go now.

I'm wondering if I am missing something simple with the .htaccess file. (After I edit it, I do chmod it back to 755). Or if anyone has an idea of working around the iPhoto's inability to login/speak to Gallery now?

Thanks!
