Looking for some apache config help to block evil spiders

I never really checked before, but I have a lot of evil spiders crawling
around my server. Some of them respect my robots.txt file and others do not.
Some of the ones that do are still *very* pushy. So I decided to shut that
bastards off. Here's what I added to my httpd.conf:

RewriteLog    logs/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^Baiduspider.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}	^msnbot.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}	^NaverBot.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}	^Sogou-Test-Spider.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}	^Mozilla/4.0.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}	^T-Mobile Dash.*
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

and inside each of the virtual domains, I added:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteOptions Inherit

Here's the problem. What I want to see is the rewrite_log telling me what it
has redirected or failed. Instead, I'm getting a line telling me every link
that it does NOT rewrite. For example:

72.30.65.61 - - [10/Oct/2009:14:28:24 --0400] \
[vdom.syslang.net/sid#b7298ed0][rid#b6b488e8/initial] (1) pass through /d1/fn

I have googled my brains out and it seems like others have had the same
questions. I see no answers. If anyone has any idea I love to hear it.

I understand that nod_rewrite is complicated, but what I'd like to end up with
a log of all the spiders that got rejected by my rules. Current;y, the
access_log tells me where the attempt is, the error_log tell me nothing and
the rewrite_log is telling me more than I want with none of what I need.

The goal is to see the spiders bouncing off.

Anyone?
