Hmmm...I just had the same issue and it looks OK in the Redirects table, 
but for some reason I get a 404 instead of the permanent redirect.

The old URL is something like:

http://www.domainname.com/public/?act=latestnews

It should be redirected to

http://www.domainname.com/latest-news/

The following fields have been set:

URL: http://www.domainname.com/public/?act=latestnews
Redirect to: http://www.domainname.com/latest-news/
301: YES
Last referer: (empty)
Error: (empty)
Last time: 24-03-09 20:25 (1 min) (yes, I am in Australia and it's 
already past 20.00 pm :)

I also tried the following value in the "Redirect To:" field

Redirect to: /latest-news/

However, both values give me a 404 Not found.

[pageNotFound_handling] in the Install Tool have been set to /404/ and 
to (empty). The only change is that in the latter case Typo3 returns a 
200 header instead of a 404 Not Found header

Tested with: curl -I http://www.domainname.com/public/?act=latestnews

I'm almost 100% sure I made a mistake. If I only knew where I made it :)

Kind regards,
