I think that, by the time that random 6 character phrases are repeating (1 chance in 2 176 782 336) no-one would use your service because the key is 10 digits long, as apposed to bit.ly or tinyurl.com

It sounds like URL rewriting isn’t set up. Are you using Apache and is your .htaccess file set up? You’ll have to use another technique for other servers or stick to the long version (/?k=xxx instead of /xxx) for links.
