I would recommend not using a meta-refresh since it's not (100%) reliable. In addition, it doesn't instruct clients (and search engines) to start using the new URL (like a 301 would). My recommendation for this situation would be to issue a 301 and then intercept the request to the new location (check the HTTP header "referer" for the referring (old) URL) to show the pop-up. That way you can have the 301 as well as the message to the visitor.
