How can mod_rewrite live with authentication?

I’m desperately trying to disable mod_rewrite for a password protected folder children that has information that must be administered outside of MODx.

I have tried the following:

First, I added my folder to the list of directories to be excluded in .htaccess in the root folder:
```
RewriteRule ^(children|manager|assets) - [L]
```
plus I added the following line to the .htaccess file in the target directory:
```
RewriteEngine off
```
Next, I tried adding the following code in the .htaccess file in the root folder:
```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/children(.*)$
```
plus I added the following line to the .htaccess file in the target directory:
```
RewriteBase /children/
```
Neither of these worked. I cannot seem to disable mod_rewrite unless I remove authentication which is not an option.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
