  Timethief was correct, you have not matched your permalink structure to your WordPress.com site. Site Redirect requires that in order to work. When people go to http://apieceofcait.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/smoothie-kick/‎ to read that post, the site redirect tries to send them to your new pieceofcait.com url here: http://www.pieceofcait.com/2013/08/16/smoothie-kick/ but you have actually set up your new site so that the post in question is located here: http://www.pieceofcait.com/?p=4029

  Because nothing exists at http://www.pieceofcait.com/2013/08/16/smoothie-kick/, you see that error message.

  If it were me, and it was important to get the posts to match up so that Site Redirect worked, I would go through the trouble of setting your self-hosted site back up again so that the permalink structure matched.

  If you have trouble or are unsure about how to do this, the support community on WordPress.org should be able to help you out:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  Lots of knowledgeable people there and this is something that will have come up before. You may even be able to find the info you need with a forums search.
