I'm not sure how this works moving from a different platform to wordpress, but I wrote a guide on how to move from a wordpress.com free account to a self-hosted wordpress.org site at my blog.

Also, according to the link in my post above, both Yahoo (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/webcrawler/slurp-11.html) and Google (via Adam Lasnik) have confirmed that meta refreshes are taken as 301 redirects. So from an SEO standpoint, I'm fairly certain it DOES transfer the link equity. I've worked in SEO since 2005. :D The zero meta refresh is only for the root domain; the individual pages are covered by the custom domain option (which is only a 302 redirect, but what can you do).
