Now adding a GET parameter to the redirect will force it to reload the page but it has the unfortunate side effect of leaving any forms filled in with the old data even employing every anti cache trick in the book.

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one seeing that problem but it's too bad no one has found a cleaner solution. Thanks for letting me know.
