Actually, since it was specified as needing to redirect, you need the
[R] flag at the end, but that will end up redirecting forever. You
need to either set up the rewrite to not match when the requested URL
starts with /spaces/ (which would probably be a little tricky), or
just use a RewriteCond to apply when it *doesnt* match ^/spaces/.* .

Even if you don't actually want to redirect, but just do an internal
rewrite, you should probably still include this precaution (in fact,
you might need it, I'm not sure) in case someone actually tries to
access http://website.com/spaces/something.
