"i think it means farewell? used when you never expect to see a person again. goodbye forever."
You are correct; it is a saying of "goodbye" to someone you don't plan to see again. To break it down... 'au' is a conjunction of sorts a + le. 'Dieu' translates literally as God. So, together it means "At God" or "In front of God." To sum it up, the saying means roughly, "I will see you again in the presence of God."
