Put this in the htaccess file.

RewriteEngine off

Will that really counteract a "no hotlink" .htaccess in a higher-level directory? I was told (and perhaps erroneously) that an .htaccess script would affect the directory it was placed in and each subdirectory within that directory, regardless of what the subdirectory .htaccess file said. So I took that as a given fact, and I've never really experimented to see.
