Have you used a header checker to make sure the 301 is setup properly?
Have you checked your log file to see if Google has revisited the page and noticed you added a 301 redirect?
Why do you think Google is ignoring a 301 redirect?

Hi goodroi,
Setup seems to be fine.
Not yet.
Well it seems like it has ignored it - but perhaps that's incorrect. I just don't understand why it's serving both pages in the SERP

Even under ideal conditions, it can take up to two weeks for Google to sort out a pile of 301s. /i'd say it's too soon to worry about it. If the http header status is really 301, then put the issue on the back burner.

This is only temporary. From what I've seen it typically only lasts for a few days like this (seeing both in SERPs). After that you should start to see only the new destination in SERPs.

It's sort of good that both appear, as both will be bringing traffic - and your redirect ensures the visitor asking for the old URL actually gets to see the right content.
