How would I bait an entrance such that invaders would tend to go for that particular entrance, while the wagons entered the other one. Obviously, I know I can make the wagons go for my alternate entrance simply by making the primary entrance impassable. But, how do I then make the invaders want to go through that corridor?

(Geez, I feel like I'm flooding the forums with newbie questions.....:/ )

That's a tough one. You could bait the trap entrance with live animals on restraints and also make it not wide enough to get a wagon through but the rest of the caravan may still choose the bait entrance.

I don't mind if the rest of caravan goes through the trapped entrance - primarily I want the invaders to avoid the wagon entrance.

invaders tend to take the shortest route. Make a turn right (or left) in a paralel track and add a couple of u turns to lengthen the path. On the inside of the turn you can put traps, if you just add another space, to catch any invaders that do go there, since they will cut the corners, trigger the traps, while the wagons will carefully drive around. I don't think it's foolproof, but should work well enough

The invaders tend to go for animals when there is nothing else to kill...maybe you could chain one near the door you want them to go for. dont know if this would work, and if it does you will lose animal.

Something like this should work, just make the branched-off path longer:

So, I ended up with something like this:
