Anyone using Pretty Link WP plugin? Does the nofollow/noindex function work?

I'm using pretty link lite to cloak my aff links and check the nofollow/noindex box every time.
Yet for some reason, those links ARE indexed by Google. Perhaps they're followed too?

Anyone using this plugin?

Thanks.

    Are you using it to cloak links going to the affiliate offers or to internal pages where you review the offers, or both?

    Hmm... I think I see a problem... for example, I have a Pretty Link for Namecheap - and it's set to no-follow... then I looked at the source HTML for one of my webpages, it showed:

    <a href="http://benholmesonline.com/namecheap" target="_blank">Namecheap</a>

    Now, there's not a no-follow tag there, but when Google would try to follow the Pretty Link, it should 'no-follow' it. But I can't seem to find any way of testing this. The link, as quoted above, is NOT a no-follow link, so Google should follow it to Pretty Link, where it should die, if Google does indeed no-follow it...

    There are questions about that, however...
