Redirect adding Server path for some reason? Please help!

[OakleyForum]

I transferred from vbulletin w/ vbseo and I setup redirects and used the VB4 redirect software which worked great. However I noticed that for some links, it redirects and adds my forum path.

For example: in this thread below:

http://www.oakleyforum.com/off-topic/3413-beautiful-women-world-12.html​

When it redirects it sends it to

http://www.oakleyforum.com/home/kal811/public_html/showthread.php?t=3413&page=12

Instead of

http://www.oakleyforum.com/showthread.php?t=3413&page=12

Why is it adding in my server path??
Other links redirect fine, but this does worry me!

I think it has something to do with the pages. Because I tried one link and noticed that a lot of the errors are when the link points to a page other than the first one. I took one link which was having the error and when I removed the page number in the old link it worked.

What could be causing this? I really want to solve it!

Did you manually do rewrites, or are you using one of the add-ons
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-scripts-for-vbulletin-3-x.264/
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/vbulletin-4-x-url-redirection.120/
If using the software (which it appears you are) try asking in the discussion forum for that software. It looks like they were posted by Mike (for v 3.x) and Luke Foreman (for v 4), so you are more likely to get a quicker response there.
Luke is REAL good about getting back with someone pretty quickly - you can also start a conversation with him.
Also, you did follow the instructions at http://xenforo.com/help/import-redirection/ I assume.

I have some manual rewrites but just for single pages which weren't redirecting, the majority of redirects are done by the software. I will ask in the thread thanks!

It may also help if you give example of your rewrites and whether you are using Apache, nginx or lightspeed.

I posted my htaccess in this thread: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/vbulletin-4-x-url-redirection.26935/

Thanks

For reference, here is my htaccess file

Use a full web path for the targets.

This:

RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule f([\d]+)/index([\d]+).html forumdisplay.php?f=$1&page=$2 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule f([\d]+)/ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [NC,L]

Becomes this:

RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html /showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html /showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule f([\d]+)/index([\d]+).html /forumdisplay.php?f=$1&page=$2 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule f([\d]+)/ /forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [NC,L]

I added a / in front of showthread.php and forumdisplay.php. That assumes those files are in the web root. If they are in a subdirectory then add that.
