Huge Problem! DeIndexing due to 301 redirect?

    Hi.
    I have recently bought a few perfect domain names for myself.
    They perfectly describe my business and I have bought the .com, .net and .co.uk.
    The .com domain name was indexed by google within a week and I set up a seo-safe redirect (301) to my blog which had some business info on it using .htaccess.
    After around another week the .com domain name was de-indexed.
    I instantly removed the redirect and I have been waiting for about 1 month for it to get reindexed.

    Any suggestions?

    The 302 redirect tells google that the page has move permanent to the website it is linked to... This tells google to stop indexing the page with the redirect.
