I had the same problem. The reason is, apparently, the error code in the=20
header. If the header only contains "Location: http://...\n\n", it's ok,=20
but if the server returns also an error code (301 or any other), the=20
redirect will not work.

I know it because i'm using XMMS to test a channel that relies on=20
redirects... http://daniele.homelinux.org:9673/djradio/dijjer.m3u
After removing "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" from the header returned=20
by the cgi-bin script, xmms reads without problems the redirect.
