This happens if the last 6 characters of this path, ..../ruthwoodtli.ch/httpdocs/ (end of $temp_path), is NOT "typo3/" for some reason.
You may have a strange server configuration. Or maybe you didn't set constant TYPO3_MOD_PATH in your module?

#####
# 
# Example .htaccess file
# 
# This file contains a collection of almost everything you will need
# for optimising TYPO3:
# 
# - mod_rewrite (used for SimulateStaticDocuments, RealUrl, etc.)
# - PHP optimisation
# 
# If you want to use it, you'll need to rename this file to '.htaccess'.
# (To make this work you will need to adjust the 'AllowOverride'
# directive in your Apache configuration file.)
# 
# IMPORTANT: You may need to change this file depending on your TYPO3
# installation!
# 
# You should change every occurance of TYPO3root/ to the location where you
# have your website in. For example:
# If you have your website located at http://mysite.com/
# then your TYPO3root/ is just empty (remove 'TYPO3root/')
# If you have your website located at http://mysite.com/some/path/
# then your TYPO3root/ is some/path/ (search and replace)
# 
# If you have problems with this file, try using the minimal
# mod_rewrite.htaccess which is located in the typo3_src/misc/
# directory of this installation.
# 
# You can also use this configuration in your httpd.conf, but you'll have
# to modify some lines, see the comments (search for 'httpd.conf')
# 
# Using rewriting in your httpd.conf is much faster, btw.
# 
# Questions about this file go to the matching Install mailing list,
# see http://typo3.org/documentation/mailing-lists/

### Begin: Rewrite stuff ###
 
# Enable URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
 
# To assist in debugging rewriting, you could use these lines
# DON'T enable it for production!
# This will only work in httpd.conf, not in .htaccess files
#RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite.log
#RewriteLogLevel 9
 
# If you use the RealUrl extension, then you'll have to enable the next line.
# You will have to change this path if your TYPO3 installation is located
# in a subdirectory of the website root.
# 
# If you place this in httpd.conf, you cannot use this directive in any case!
#RewriteBase /
 
# Stop rewrite processing if we are in the typo3/ directory
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one:
# RewriteRule ^/TYPO3root/(typo3|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|typo3conf|typo3temp|uploads|showpic\.php|favicon\.ico)/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(typo3|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|typo3conf|typo3temp|uploads|showpic\.php|favicon\.ico)/ - [L]
 
# Redirect http://mysite/typo3 to http://mysite/typo3/index_re.php
# and stop the rewrite processing
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one:
# RewriteRule ^/TYPO3root/typo3$ /TYPO3root/typo3/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3$ typo3/index_re.php [L]
 
# If the file/symlink/directory does not exist => Redirect to index.php
# Important note: If you copy/paste this into httpd.conf instead
# of .htaccess you will need to add '%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}' left to each
# '%{REQUEST_FILENAME}' part.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
 
# Main URL rewriting.
 
# If you use Windows and SimulateStaticDocuments do not work, try adding a
# slash (/) right before 'index.php' below.
 
# The example shows how to rewrite only *.html and *.pdf files to index.php
# This may be helpful when using an extension that can generate PDF files
# on the fly.
# Example: RewriteRule .*\.(html|pdf)$ index.php [L]
 
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one that has no '#':
# RewriteRule .* /TYPO3root/index.php [L]
 
# For use with the RealUrl extension, you might need to remove the
# RewriteBase directive somewhere above and use this line instead of the
# next one:
# RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]
 
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
 
### End: Rewrite stuff ###
 
### Begin: PHP optimisation ###
 
# All features below are left to the default if you don't change this.
# Simply remove the comment marks if you want to use some/all of these
# settings
 
# The PHP developers recommend disabling this feature. Do that.
# It's deprecated and is likely to be unsupported in future versions of PHP.
#php_flag allow_call_time_pass_reference off
 
# TYPO3 works fine with register_globals turned off.
# This is highly recommended!
#php_flag register_globals off
 
# PHP may not declare the argv & argc variables (that would contain the GET
# information).
# TYPO3 doesn't need this, so just turn it off.
#php_flag register_argc_argv off
 
# Magic quotes for runtime-generated data (data from SQL, exec(), etc.)
#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
 
# Order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie and Built-in variables
#php_value variables_order GPCS
 
### End: PHP optimisation ###
 
### Begin: Miscellaneous ###
 
# Make sure that directory listings are disabled
#Options -Indexes
 
# There is a problem with Internet Explorer and mod_gzip on Apache servers.
# For more information, see
# http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/rtehtmlarea/Tutorial-79/
