   OK, after doing many experiments I though that something there is fishy, so I decided to do it with default TwentyTen theme.

   Following instructions at:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

   I inserted:

   <?php if ( is_home() ) {
   query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-3');
   }
   ?>

   right before:

   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   Result: you click "Older posts" and each next page (2,3,4...) shows the same posts.

   Is it a bug or I don't understand something? :-/

   Thanks for the help!

   You have to include the 'paged' parameter to query_posts. To pass it the current page it's on, use get_query_var('paged')

   Thank you very much, fonglh!

   If any admins would read this post, it would be nice to include this info to a loop description to a "Exclude category" section:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

   I don't imagine who would want to exclude category at the same braking the pagination.

   Perhaps reference to:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-theme-problem?replies=9%29

   could be added or the code:

   <?php
   if (is_home()) {
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts("cat=-3&paged=$paged");
   }
   ?>
