This is a new one on me. The error message is technically valid/correct, but for some reason or other, the redirection isn't being followed (at least not for you).
This leads me to think that this is probably a server configuration setting/option somewhere that is preventing scripted redirects from taking place. You'll probably need to contact your ISP for help on this one.

Meanwhile, I can can offer you a couple of workarounds:

Workaround#1 :
load the current /modules/shipping/austpost.php into a text editor. Locate line 108 (or therebouts)... it current reads
$SERVER="http://austpost.vcsweb.com" .
Change it to read
$SERVER = "http://drc.edeliver.com.au".
Next.... Scroll down to line#130... uncomment the entire block of text/settings for the 'fixed price items and fees'. Adjust to suit. (Note: there are a couple of errors in this block that will also need fixing, namely, any of the items that have values seperated by commas need to be quoted... eg:
$CostINS=1.20,1.20,5.50,2.00 ;
Will need to be changed to
$CostINS="1.20,1.20,5.50,2.00" ;

Save the file, and all should be ok.

Workaround#2.
Use an older version of the AP module (I suggest the last in the V1 series).
This should work 'out of the box', but you will find that this one doesn't have all of the same shipping options that are available in the V2 series (Sorry, I can't recall the changes off the top of my head). You will find that the V1 versions allow you to enter the 'fixed price' costs via the admin configuration screen though, which means you'll not have to edit any .php code.

Hopefully these tips will be useful to you, but please do keep in mind that the core of the problem seems to relate to your server not being able to follow the redirects, and only your ISP can help you with that one.

Hi Rod,
I haven't tried what you have said yet, I will contact my host first and see what they say as when I had a look this morning letter rate was showing but not regular post it's all very odd

Letter rates are another of the 'fixed price' charges.
The item you tried with is obviously considered small and light enough to qualify. I guess you still have the letter rate option enabled from the earlier tests ;-)
