We are using this to redirect people before their session times out if they have left their browser open. It works perfectly fine except when a user has gone to a page and then refreshed it already(either using f5 or the browser button). Any ideas how to circumvent this?

Are you saying that you don't want it to re-refresh the page if the user has already refreshed it themselves, or are you saying that it doesn't refresh the page if the user has, but should?
Dan
I can't imagine that meta tag stopping just because the user has pressed F5 (refresh) themselves previously. I'm guessing that the desired behaviour is for the page to do one refresh (after, say, 29 minutes) and then leave the page to expire naturally (after, say, another 30 minutes). Is this the case?
As Dan points out, you need to tell us what you expect to happen (what your desired result is) and how it is differing from what actually happens. Maybe posting the "view source" (not the RAW source) of the meta tags as they appear in the browser.
Just a suggestion to make this easier,
Jeff

Also tell us what browser they/you are using
