Well, a .htaccess file shouldn't require a restart of httpd at all.

Instead I think, that he missed a dot in his configuration there:

RewriteRule ^/joe/(*) /users/joe/$1 [L]

this should probably be:

RewriteRule ^/joe/(.*) /users/joe/$1 [L]

Quite important to remember punctuation, when working with regular
expressions.
