---- Pinterest blocks simple 301 redirect

I must be missing something. I don't care if SE's follow Pinterest links out, but I do want the SE's to work out that:

olddomain.com/my-page-that-Pinterest-loves

is now

newdomain.com/my-page-that-Pinterest-loves

(and so on with all my pages)

A meta refresh won't guide the search engines in that direction, because they ignore it. A 301 is the recommended method for changing domains. Is that not correct? What am I not understanding?

And I know *I* get so irritated with meta-refresh that I make it a rule never to visit a site I can't back out of again. Maybe my Pinterest visitors don't feel the same way, but I know I'm not alone on hating that browser behavior.
