if I edit the 404.php in the wordpress admin and just put in some meta refresh code, it just gets me the standard IE 404 page

Sounds like you're using permalinks.
Try this:
Create a file on your website. Call it onerror.html. It can have just <html></html> in it for all that it matters.
In Wordpress's .htaccess file, add this to the top of the file:

ErrorDocument 401 /path/to/onerror.html

See if that makes any difference. If it doesn't, add another line with 403 instead of 401.
