mod_rewrite and iPhone redirect

I've been working on the iPhone version of an already existing application.

We use some rewrite rules for better SEO and to make it easier for visitors. eg. http://www.site.com/index.php?job=4ef187d6e66b7 is rewritten as http://www.site.com/jobs/4ef187d6e66b7

We also use a rule to redirect all iPhone users to our mobile site, as following:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} iPhone
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/m/
RewriteRule .* /m/ [R]

The mobile site is just located at www.site.com/m/

But when I head over to http://www.site.com/jobs/4ef187d6e66b7, I'm getting redirected to http://www.site.com/m/?job=4ef187d6e66b7, while that should be http://www.site.com/m/jobs/4ef187d6e66b7

Is there a way to redirect people and still keep some of the existing rules? I also tried adding this rule, but that didn't work

RewriteRule ^m/jobs/([^/]+) m/index.php?job=$1 [NC]

This is the full .htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^jobs/([^/]+) index.php?job=$1 [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} iPhone
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/m/
RewriteRule .* /m/ [R]

You should put the iPhone redirect first, and then mark it 'last'. That way, the mobile redirect will have priority over the other redirects.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} iPhone
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/m/
RewriteRule (.*) /m/$1 [R,L]

RewriteRule ^(m/|)jobs/([^/]+) index.php?job=$2 [NC]

Also be sure that you include the original path in the redirect (as shown on the third line).

The last rewrite rule will match /m/jobs/xxx as well as /jobs/xxx.
