Hi, I'm trying to use the 301 redirect feature so that I can refer traffic from my google indexed pages to my new URLs but I'm having problems.

The old URL was for example:
www.example.com/old/old.htm

The new URL is now:
www.example.com/new.html

I've set up the 301 URL, but when I come in through the old URL it display a 404 and I notice the new URL is not how it should be, i.e it's:
www.example.com/old/new.html

Have I got something set wrong or is this a bug?
