301 internal redirects causing Google problems?

Can I ask a simple question as my site appears to be all over the place regarding many supplementals showing on one index and just a couple on others.

My standard php category pages are showing - some very recently gone live.

<b>However, one thing common to all datacenters is that <u>none</u> of my new (since about mid 2005) product pages are shown in any of the indexes.</b>

My product pages are now all 301 internal redirects - changes page name from
[mysite.com...]
to
[mysite.com...]

So I'm thinking is this:
1. A duplicate issue - is there too much same content on each new product page - if so, google would surely still index the pages but make them supplemental, would it not?
2. A 301 internal redirect issue - does google not like my redirects - if so, why has it indexed many older pages

This issue is also true of my news pages which are also 301 internal redirects.

Should I just wait and see, hold my breath, and don't change anything until google is fixed or what?

I have the same problem but don't know what to do either.

I suppose it's good to know I'm not alone but what the **** can we do?

Yahoo and MSN both index all of my pages with no problems - just checked and they have indexed new product pages that are just a few days old.
