I use exactly this rule on several sites: "RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$
/index.php?eID=dd_googlesitemap [R=301,L]" (along with variations of
it for feedburner).

The fact that you're winding up at a 404 page suggests that there is
an error in the .htaccess file (i.e. since some of the variations
you've tried are *correct* RewriteRules, they must not be being
evaluated correctly by Apache).
