Description
I can't get this to work in Drupal 6. Everything looks OK when configuring the redirects, but when I submit a redirect I get two messages:
* Saved redirect
* Redirects deleted
The redirect is added to the configuration, but it does not work. Is this a bug? Something wrong with my configuration?
#1
As of version 6.x-1.3 the Redirects deleted message only appears if you delete one or more redirects.
However, that you were getting both those message appearing has nothing to do with why your redirects aren't working. It was just another message displaying.
So, can you give any other information? Like what you are entering for your redirect.
Also, make sure you don't have any updates that haven't been run. Check this at www.yoursite.com/update.php.

I don't have any pending updates. I double checked it.
I'm just using the module as usual - I have a taxonomy called "Site Section" which breaks my site to sections. I don't want the users to navigate to a section by taxonomy - I have navigation for that. For example, I have a section called "showcase" with term ID 14. I can navigate to mysite.com/taxonomy/term/14. I want to prevent that. I chose to redirect "Site Section" with term "showcase" to the first page of the section which is called showcase/features (generated automatically using pathauto). But I'm still getting the same result from /taxonomy/term/14. I tried to direct the whole "Site Section" taxonomy to the home page, still getting to /taxonomy/term/14.
I'm not sure it's related, but I tried to do the same with Path Redirect module and it didn't work either. This module is still in dev for 6.x, though. I disabled it for now.
Other modules I have: advanced_help, path_redirect (disabled), token, faq, pathauto, views, feedburner, pathologic, webform, globalredirect, sitemenu, xmlsitemap, google_analytics, lightbox2.
All in latest versions. Using drupal 6.6.

Anyone?

From what you've said it's possible you are after functionality that taxonomy redirect doesn't do.
If you go to a node that has the term showcase and then click the term does it take you to showcase/features or taxonomy/term/14?
Taxonomy redirect only redirects taxonomy links, it doesn't actually create aliases. So if you type the url in or something like that it won't redirect. See #321397: Is there any documentation on this?.
Does that explain your problem or are your taxonomy links not redirecting either?
