Send me the configuration and a description of what
you are trying to accomplish (ie. what packets you want
to redirect where) and I'll tell you if it's broken.

You should *never* have to disable a switching path to make a feature
work.  If you do it's a bug and please open a TAC case on it so
the problem is fixed.  Cisco IOS switching paths are designed such
that if you enable a feature that is not supported in a particular
switching path then that packet is punted to the next switching path
to be handled.
