i need to use the meta refresh and wondered if theres any trouble with this way: making the folder that contains the files to refresh banned by robots.txt and making the meta tags noindex nofollow...this shouldnt affect the rest of the site right?

Nope. That should work fine.

maybe i should have mentioned that the page is a short fuse redirect rather than a refresh..i do it this way so that i cant have links from all over my site pointing at one page..and so when i change the page they are linking to i only have to change the one page redirect rather the whole site....i jst dont want to get penalised for what can be a spam trick..but not in this case...:-)

GoogleGuy has stated in past threads, that to avoid penalties, redirects should be done at the server level. Use an .htaccess file if you are on an Apache server.
