Regarding my statement, I have the following supporting information that the problem could be related to the difference of sub directories off of the local server as compared to the remote server. It could be that I have things setup incorrectly, but here goes with what I have seen.
My active cart is installed iin a subdirectory of our host.
The configure.php's each identiify the server variable as only the server name (not the server name/subdirectory) as described and explained in the files as well as on this site.
Per the instructions of the htaccess generator of the plugin, the htaccess file is placed in the stores root (not in the stores directry)
Autogenerated URIs are created that include the subdirectory as the first part of the path to the new URI.
A subdomain assignment was not used because we have not paid for a separate SSL certificate (non-profit organization)
Our host though, even though we don't have our own SSL certificate, provides SSL communication via a rearrangement of the host name allowing all subdirectories to remain the same following the host name. So the configure.php's need nothing special other than the different host name for SSL communication.
At a point in time after using this plugin and assigning URIs, the subfolder was changed. This resulted in the redirection URIs attempting to go to the old directory until they were updated to reflect the current subdirectory.
Hence if the subdirectory in which the URIs are originally assigned is changed, then the URIs will not properly follow.
So that is why I stated that if the local server does not mirror the destination server, the generated URIs when transferred will not properly follow.
Now, if there is an htaccess trick to modify that or work around the differences of the subdirectories, I know I would appreciate it. :)
Okay, so I've been thinking about this a little further, one thought that came to mind is that prior to the htaccess code to work with this plugin, it could be possible to redirect the old folder to the new folder and not require changes to the database, but that seems sloppy. I'm also not sure how the URIs will look after that/as a result. I can't remember if I tried that route when it had happened.
