Hi...
Just adding it here in case it helps...
I use a different module (redirect) but was having exactly the same issue with an addtitional detail... the redirect would work only if I added a trailing slash...
So...
When I archived the page https://mysite.com/mypage and created a redirect to https://mysite.com/newpage , the redirect would only work if I added the trailing slash, i.e., if I tried to reach https://mysite.com/mypage/ . If I didn't have the trailing slash, I would get the same "Access Denied" error described in this article.
I solved this by changing the alias of the archived page to something else like "mypage-legacy" (AFTER archiving it and AFTER adding the redirect). As "mypage-legacy" was never live it didn't need redirect. And now, the original page URL ("https://mysite.com/mypage") redirects to "newpage" with or without a trailing slash.
Problem solved... good luck...
