I also have 301'd a few pages on December 18th that are showing the same problem in the cached page when I search by the old url.

It's showing the same as others are seeing:

Moved Permanently
The document has moved [linked to the new url]here[/linked].
(Cache date is 1/9/2007.)

The new URL's (from what I just checked) are now available when I search for them by exact address as well as for a few search terms again. So maybe that means the problem (in my case anyway) is correcting itself. The new urls showing up has happened sometime since January 4th, the cache date for one is showing 1/9/2007 (same as problematic cache date on it's old "Cached error" pages url). Before the 4th they didn't show up at all.

msndude, I'd be happy to send you the addresses of these pages (both old and new urls). If it helps I can also send the lines in the logfiles where MSNbot crawled those pages, copy of the redirect code used, or anything you might find helpful to diagnose the problem.

I'd 301'd other pages September 4th that were updated as I'd expected. If any information about those would be useful, ditto about sending any info your way.

I almost forgot to add, these pages also do have the non www to www redirect, but I'm using absolute urls inside the website and haven't seen (in a quick scan of the logs) anywhere where MSNbot hit a double redirect, so I'm guessing that probably isn't the cause.

Oh, and Welcome WebmasterWorld (new) msndude! :)
