I know I've had this work too - although it would have been before the 
advent of IE 8.

I have a feeling I used a slightly different format:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=http://whatever/wherever.html">

So the key differences are URL= and use of an absolute URL including 
protocol etc.

I'm sure that worked with IE6 (who ever used 7 anyway?) but I no longer 
have the ability to test with IE. (No 'doze here!)
