Redirect joomla 1.5 RSS feeds to new onw via htaccess

I would like to redirect old joomla 1.5 RSS Feeds to new ones via htaccess. For example I have an old URL: http://www.mydomain.tld/en/categories/debian.feed?type=atom and wish to redirect it to: http://www.mydomain.tld/en/?format=feed&type=rss

I tried it with the following htaccess rule, but it didn´t work:

RewriteRule ^de/categories/([a-z]+)\.feed?type=atom$ http://www.mydomain.tld/en/?format=feed&type=rss [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^en/categories/([a-z]+)\.feed?type=atom$ http://www.mydomain.tld/en/?format=feed&type=rss [R=301,L]

did anybody know whats wrong with my rule, or did have a working one for me?

I think the query string is your problem - you can't match on that with a rewrite rule. Try something like:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^type=atom$
RewriteRule ^de/categories/([a-z]+)\.feed$ http://www.mydomain.tld/en/?format=feed&type=rss [R=301,L]
