Hello.
I'm not sure how to properly do it anymore. In V7 without SEO I'd type in the standard redirect 301 "...shop/ecom-prodshow/..." but this doesn't seem to work for me in V8. Can someone tell me what is the proper way? I have a dead link that I need to redirect to a new category.
Thanks.

follow the instructions here

you just have change the code as instructed and voila, all your v7 links will remains operational and will point to the v8 links, you don't need to use 301 redirect

Thanks Aircut but this isn't what I am talking about. I've implemented the SEO as per your link.
I am referring to the need to manually redirect a dead url to an active url.

Old CCP7 links are automatically 301'ed to the new CCP8 format, if your item/category is still there and active. I think you've probably deleted a category and want to 301 it somewhere else. To do that, use (for a product):
RewriteRule ^Item/OLDSEOURL http://www.yourdomain.com/Item/NEWSEOURL [L,R=permanent]
Or, for a product for which you never set up an old SEO URL:
RewriteRule ^ecom-prodshow/OLDID\.html http://www.yourdomain.com/Item/NEWSEOURL [L,R=permanent]

Thanks Nick. I tried to adapt your second formula to redirect a category but I still can't get it to work.
This is what I'm trying. (The + sign is and empty space. I deleted and recreated this category in order to get rid of it.)
RewriteRule ^ecom-catshow/Burnout-Chemical_Free_Sunscreen+_Lip_Balms\.html http://www.brenditasbodyworks.com/shop/Category/Burnout-Chemical_Free_Sunscreen [L,R=permanent]
