.htaccess and MIME types not working in 3.1

anyone else noticed that when using a .htaccess file to determine certain mime types safari 3 ignores the .htaccess file and handles the file the way the OS would normally?

i'm hosting a bunch of 1080p .mov's and I'd prefer if they would just download when clicked on instead of trying to open in a window where they go out of frame.

i've currently got the addtype set to octetstream, and on safari 2 and firefox they both automatically start to download, but safari 3 tries to open the movie in the browser window.
