Thanks for your reply, but I'd prefer a solution that's limited to the .htaccess rather than a plugin - mainly because it's a site for another person and I don't want them to have to worry about plugins down the track.
Also, it'd be handy knowledge to have for my own development too.
Thanks again though.

Where I was putting the RewriteRule is why mine wasn't working - once I inserted it after RewriteBase / and before RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f everything started working correctly.
Problem solved, thanks to ccagle8 and a good night's sleep.
