Why am I getting this htaccess error

I have a rule in my htaccess file to remove a www subdomain like so:

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
    suPHP_ConfigPath /home/myusername/php.ini
        <Files php.ini>
            order allow,deny    
            deny from all   
        </Files>
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

When I try to go to www.mysite.com it tries to send me to http://mysite.com/public_html/

What's causing this and how would I fix it? If it helps I'm using a shared hosting plan on hostgator.

IIRC, the HostGator document root for userX is /home/userX/public_html, not /home/userX, so the symptoms that you are describing are what I'd expect unless of course your trying to do go to /home/userX/public_html/public_html which might be an artefact of not specifying a 

RewriteBase /

After the RewriteEngine On
