Search engines are funny beasts. Visit the site in lynx and you'll see what a search engine sees, except they don't see inside framesets. They certainly won't see your JavaScript redirect.
Just avoid the temptation to use your CGI to produced a tweaked page when a spider visits. Search engines take a dim view of that even when you're not overtly trying to manipulate them.
