3.4.2 Holy Crapoly missing all permalinks

two days ago my site lost the ability to display pages and posts. No WordPress updates (still at 3.4.2) or plug-ins were updated either, now all plug-ins are disabled. htaccess file is short and sweet:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# to protect wp-config.php
<Files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# to protect the .htaccess file itself:
<Files .htaccess>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

Apparently it is writable because when I change the permalink settings it says “done” and when I come back to the setting in a different browser it is changed.
Reinstalled WP 3.4.2 to no avail. Checked MySQL at Godaddy and it looks fine from what I can tell.
Some 600 plus pages and posts on my site http://outfitnm.com are no longer visible, although a page that (before I disabled plug-ins, I guess) displayed approved and pending with the aforementioned numbers.
I live to blog, I feel better knowing the permalinks are just messed up, and my lifelong work is still there somewhere. But please any one got an idea what I should look at next?
Oh yeah this is a godaddy hosted linux server mysql 5 apache 2.2
