I re-wrote the barefoot plugin for WP 2.7.1 and this fixed my problem… maybe it will help others as well. It also works with WP-PageNavi…

/**
* Function to fix problem where next/previous buttons are broken on list
* of posts in a category when the custom permalink string is:
* /%category%/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
* The problem is that with a url like this:
*
* /category/2007/10/page/2
*
* the 'page' looks like a post name, not the keyword "page"
*
* MODIFIED ON March 23, 2009 by Jeff Sherk
* Permalink structure was /%category%/%post_id% which looked like
* http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/news/27
* When attempting to go to another page, it looked like this
* http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/news/27/page/2
* but would generate a 404 error .
*
* This modification takes $query_string['category_name'] and chops the '/page'
* off the end. It also takes $query_string['paged'] and sets it equal to
* $query_string['p'], and then unsets $query_string['p'].
* 'p' is not needed, but 'paged' is needed in order to make it work correctly
