Up vote for Paul's solution ;-)
Watch out for absolute URLs in the CEWP-MOSS won't rewrite them as it does for rich text fields and this can sometimes bite if you're moving content between environments. I try to stick to relative URLs with the CEWP whenever possible. If you don't want to do the redirect client-side for any reason you could also get the same effect with a custom web part and a server-side redirect... assuming you've got the packaging/deployment plumbing in place or don't mind creating it and gumming up your web part library with stuff like this.

Certain death ;-) Simply put, the page library is a core component of the publishing feature. As it seems like you main priority is simply redirecting users, have you considered other alternatives outside SharePoint? I love reverse proxies in front of a web-facing deployment to handle stuff like this; if your redirect list is fixed (and users don't need to be getting in there) you could also use URL rewriting-anything that will return an HTTP 301 or 302 response.

I created a couple and moved them before my original mail, and the redirects seemed to work okay. Michael - thanks for the link - I'll have a read through that article now.

Publishing pages are special, which is why you only get one Pages library per web. I don't think you can even rename the Pages library without running into problems.

The scenario is as follows: I want to replace a bunch of legacy html files that use the meta-refresh tag to redirect users, with publishing pages that use the 'redirect page' page layout. I've tested this, and it works perfectly. My only issue is that they are created in the "pages" document library, and I want them in a document library of my choosing. Is it possible to do this, or should I create them by default, and then use the 'manage content and structure' to move them where I want?
