Archives by Category and Redirect Problems

Greetings, all,
I’ve got a blog set up at AlpineCamp.com in which I’ve got a stack of different categories. I’ve also got a stack of different templates depending on the category for which I am using template files such as category-8.php.

My plan is to generate archive listings for specific categories, but I’ve been having some problems. I’m using the Archives for a Category plugin to generate links to archives for each category.

My problem is that when I click on the Archives link for a category with only one ID (generating a url such as http://www.alpinecamp.com/blogs/2009/01/?cat=3), the link is redirected back to the index page. If there are multiple IDs passed in (such as cat=3,4) it goes through the archive.php template file and I can work with it from there just fine.

I’ve tried changing the code for selecting the posts based on category inside the templates, but this doesn’t seem to change the redirect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!
