It depends on exacly how your transfer went. Is is on a new server, was the new domain used before you, did it have backlins, was the 301 setup correctly, how did you check it afterwards?

Also, could be duplicate content issues with the international TLD's, how old is the new domain, any tricky browser sniffing going on... Feel free to hit me up on twitter (@garrettgillas) if you want help on anything specific.

  Our business deals with content that is regional so each domain deals with data that is available only in that region. Therefore we have no duplicate data amongst the different domains. We've tried very hard to always walk a straight line regarding how are site is viewed by the search engines.

    It sounds like you did everything correctly but that just one minor detail is off. I hate it when that happens. Either way, I would have a fairly knowledgeable SEO colleague take a second look at it just to make sure nothing is missed. A month should be more than enough time but you can try setting up some new links (from new sources) to the new domain just to see if the issue is that the new site is just being really slow on getting indexed for some reason.

The servers are the same with the same IP's. We had back-links and they are slowly migrating to our new domain. The 301's are working correctly as we've checked with a few different tools to verify. We can click on our old links in google and verify that the page comes up to the redirected domain. The thing that really strikes us as odd is how quickly the other domains appeared but our main domain at .com has still not shown up. This is very concerning since there is essentially nobody to follow-up with at Google. I should also mention that Yahoo and Bing have picked up the change just fine.
