Your statement about the Progress is correct, but indirectly.  For Shuttle
flights 4A and 5A, the removal of the Progress from the FGB nadir port was
required to make room for the Shuttle to dock on the Node 1 nadir port.  But
from now on, the Shuttle will dock to the forward port of the Lab.  The
rationale for the move this time is described in this excerpt from the
current ISS Status Report at
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/spacenews/reports/issreports/2001/iss01-09.html:

"The Progress supply craft currently docked to the aft end of the Zvezda
module is scheduled to be undocked around April 15 in preparation for the
arrival of the next shuttle flight carrying the station's Canadian-built
robot arm and a second Italian Space Agency supplied logistics module called
Raffaello. The open port allows for the relocation of the Soyuz capsule
around April 17, which will provide clearance for the placement of Raffaello
during the docked phase of the shuttle mission."

All I know is that soyuz is docked to the iss, while looking at the orbital 
elements I would think they aren't. I am now waiting to see what norad has 
to say, as I have sent them a message.

At least on April 15 there will be a object near the iss, as Progress supply

craft will be undocked on that day, tmake room for the shuttle to be 
launched on april 19.
