Module doesn't seem to have any effect

Description

Installed module
Went to admin/build/taxonomy_redirect
Selected a vocabulary and a term
Entered a Drupal path for a view
Went to taxonomy/term/TID
Nothing

Went to admin/build/taxonomy_redirect
Selected a vocabulary only (applying to all terms)
Entered a Drupal path for a view
Went to taxonomy/term/TID
Nothing

Also tried the Drupal path aliases for the taxonomy terms, but that didn't work either. Tried clearing the cache and running cron. Nothing.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Details:
Drupal 5.16
Taxonomy Redirect 1.3
Pathauto 2.3
Path Redirect 1.2
Views 1.6

Could it be that this doesn't work with a) pathauto or b) path_redirect? What should I see when I visit the taxonomy term page? Does it actually redirect (like path_redirect) or just create an alias (like pathauto)?

Thanks for any help or guidance anyone can provide, this seems like a great module and I'd love to use it...

Hi,

The original taxonomy page is still there.

Taxonomy redirect only uses hook_term_path (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_term_path/6) to modify paths for taxonomy terms, it doesn't actually create path aliases.
This means the redirect only works for taxonomy links placed by the taxonomy module. It also means if you type the url in to your browser the redirect doesn't work.

Essentially the same issue as http://drupal.org/node/92919

Does this answer your question?

I thought this information was on the module page but it isn't so i'll add it.
