So Wordpress is installed on the root.
example.com/

Expression engine 1.6.8 is on a child directory

example.com/ee/

I’ve tried adding the following to no avail:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^ee/   

Any help would be appreciated

Ignoring .htaccess for the moment, does http://example.com/ee work as expected?

Nope.  So I’ve moved wordpress off the root so that I now have example.com/ee/  and example.com/wp/  It is not the ideal solution however. 

Initially Expression Engine had been at the root.  I moved it to a child directory, and was able to have everything work except the index page: 

so example.com/ee/section/ worked, but example.com/ee/ was a blank screen.  Leaving the index.php file on the root directory however would work. in that case I would be able to see the homepage at example.com/  and sectionpages at example.com/ee/section.  example.com/ee/ would still be blank.

I moved everything as suggested by this post:http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/171254/

I know this is convoluted.  Any ideas?

Can you remove .htaccess entirely from your setup? This is almost certainly a rewrite issue.

Which Setup?

root?
ee/

or

wp/

Yes, all of them, as they’re cascading down.
