You've set up an infinite loop as the redirection url meets the redirection reqirements.

Edit: There is a built in safety check in Apache, but it is sensitive to slashes and other special characters. Maybe try giving the relative path to the jpg and don't start the path with a "/"...maybe something like "files/linkables/dontlinkme.jpg"

2nd edit: You also might need to use ReWriteBase in this case.
