When you use a hash it checks the whole hash, so this is the expected behaviour.
You can either used a named route (if you've got one available) or a
String literal:
response.should redirect_to(admin_users_batch_saved)
response.should redirect_to('/admin/users/batch_saved')
Based on Jay Field's latest advice
(http://blog.jayfields.com/2008/02/testing-expect-literals.html) you
may want to consider the literal.
