I have changed the way the 301 header is sent
Was:
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.injection-moldings.com'.$page);

IS:
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.injection-moldings.com'.$page,FALSE,301);

I will play with it and remove the first header and also change the
replace header location, but this either worked OR the robots gave up....
