CMS 7.5: Trying to migrate media library items and have old URLs work

Having an issue with our upgrade to EpiServer 7.5 with the media library URLs.

When we were on CMS 6, the files were in this folder structure. Example:

/Global/Arts/Online%20Report%20Attachments/TargetDoc.xlsx

Now with version 7.5, we are in

/globalassets/arts/online-report-attachments/TargetDoc.xlsx

So files are in /globalassets folder and also all spaces have an indent in them. Some people have the old URLs, so we need the client to be able to update one file in the new CMS and both URLs work.

I tried using URLRewrite in IIS, to add some static mapping like in here in the web.config:

http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-rewrite-maps-in-url-rewrite-module

I can get it to work on a plain asp.net site but not in EpiServer for some reason. Is there an EpiServer only solution that can fix this issue?

Have you seen the chapter Redirecting old paths to new media paths in the SDK?
