Thanks lucy24 but I should have mentioned I tried what you suggested and:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) [newdomain.com...] [R=301,L]

Neither of these options work and both product the same result described in my original post.

g1smd there are no equivalent pages on the new site. I'm killing the whole site and want to funnel all the traffic to the index of the new site.
