htaccess socialengine (trying this again)

[leekh]

First time is no longer here...
the following htaccess is stopping folders from being accessed in a socialengine installation... i have scripts needing installation in folders and they are not being loaded, instead result in socialengine's 'page not found'.. this is a socialengine 4. install

does anyone know a method to allow two specific folders to be accessed and allow the rest to remain essentially blocked?

thank you in advance for replies and help!

htaccess contains:
