Hi Danny!
I don't have much to add here, I think the guys have it right in that you'll need to figure out how to make the 301 work. I quickly read that documentation, then realized I wasn't a robot, so I found this: http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2012/10/amazon-s3-support-for-website-redirects.html which was a bit more friendly.
I wish I could help you out more, but I'm not using AWS. I'm assuming you'll be able to use wildcard or regex matching somewhere, and that should solve your problem.
Great site by the way, anything you're using to help out with the static blog? (Jekyll, Octopress?)
