htaccess: trouble understanding RewriteCond for URL GET parameters?

I'll try to explain as best as I can, but I don't fully understand what it is that I'm doing. I have Googled around, and read some information, but at this point I need someone to just give me a kick in the butt and show me what it is that I'm doing wrong.

Here is an htaccess script that changes ?page=home&subcat=about&category=me into /home/about/me/.

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?category=$1&page=$2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?category=$1&subcat=$2&page=$3 [L,NC]

(this works just as it's supposed to)

Now, I have a sub-domain, let's call it sublevel.mywebsite.com that points to mywebsite.com/myfolder

If I go to sublevel.mywebsite.com it will act as if /myfolder/ is ?page=myfolder - I do not want this for the subdomain, only for the normal site.

I tried adding a redirect condition in front like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myfolder$

But, it doesn't seem to be changing very much.

I don't understand what else I can do here, but any help is appreciated? I would also appreciate a small explanation on what is happening if that's possible.

This is happening because you are rewriting all requests to /index.php, To exclude the subdomain redirection, add the following rule above your RewriteRules :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain\.com$
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
