mod_rewrite problem

    I’m having WP hosted at DreamHost, and trying to set .htaccess file for nice URLs. This is the content of the .htaccess file, which resides in the site root.
    —-
    Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^([~\/]+)$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [L]
    # 404
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
    —-
    However, when I try some url like http://site_name/life/ if moves me to 404.php I specified in the last line.
    What am I doing wrong? Is the rule bad, or had DreamHost turned something off so this does not work?
    I asked the support there, and they said that mod_rewrite is on, but that they don’t offer help of setting up custom rewrite rules.
    This thing is really driving me crazy…

    Yipi. I got it. Rewrite rules was wrong. This is the correct one.
    RewriteRule ^([^\/]+)/$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [L]
