The above tends to indicate that the connector is mod_jk.
(The question being if this configuration is really enabled, since it is conditional).
But let's imagine that it is.

First, one remark :
these lines :
 >   JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
 >   JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
 >   JkMount /servlets/* ajp13

are useless, because the next line

 >  JkMount /* ajp13

overrides them all.

So basically you are passing everything to Tomcat, except the URLs which match any of your 
JkUnMount lines.
Second critic :
 From a security point of view, it would be better to do the opposite : /only/ forward to 
Tomcat the specific URLs that need to be processed by Tomcat.  Like this maybe :

<IfModule mod_jk.c>
    JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
    JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
    JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
</IfModule>

Now, you still need to explain what you are trying to achieve.

Where in this, and for what reason, does .htaccess need to be involved ?
What is the content of the .htaccess file ? (remove any private info)
