Redirection without !variables

To get to the page taxonomy/term/228 are you typing the url or are you clicking a taxonomy term link (considering no nodes contain this link i'm assuming this is not the case).

Taxonomy redirect does not actually change the url in any way, just the taxonomy term links.

This is from the taxonomy redirect module page:

Note: 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.

Is this your problem?

indeed, that was my problem. As soon as I created links, those were correctly redirected. Actually I created the links applying Taxonomy Menu to VID_2, rather than tagging nodes. The two children menu items get redirected to terms 226 and 227, while the parent menu item (vocabulary name) links to taxonomy/term/228 229, yelding no content... Thank you.
