http-status-code-301

I am moving my blog to a new domain. I am trying to do this through .htaccess. While the redirect is okay - the output URL is 'ugly'

example in old domain .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /archives/2009/06/02/hello-world/ http://indiapoint.net/archives/2009/06/02/hello-world/

So if we click

http://www.i3pep.org/archives/2009/06/02/hello-world/

the redirect is to

http://indiapoint.net/archives/2009/06/02/hello-world/?year=2009&monthnum=06&day=02&name=hello-world&page=

Please suggest what should be done

thanks Anup
