   I have MultiSite (3.0.4) with BuddyPress (1.2.7) running and have run into a problem with the front page of the main blog
   http://mhs.myotus.com/blog/ redirects to here:
   http://mhs.myotus.com/blog/2010/12/blogs/ which then gives a 404 error message.

   Interestingly when I changed my front page display back to "Your latest posts" instead of a static page on my Reading Settings section my post feed showed up on http://mhs.myotus.com and not http://mhs.myotus.com/blog/

   I suspect I may have broken it when I turned Permalinks off and and then on in effort to trouble shoot a minor issues. There was no problem at the time but when I deactivated my plugins that when all the trouble began.

   I have tried to deactivate plugins and themes but so far with no effect. An going into > Super Admin > Sites it shows the path as "/" and not "/blog/" however I am unable to change it however, I am unsure if I should even try.

   Ideas? Unfortunately I am running out of time and need to launch this site this week and move it from development to the "live" site.

   Thanks in advance for advice and any help.

   Either you have a page or post somewhere called blog, or there's a plugin or rewrite rule (that someone added) interferring.

   Thanks Andrea, That was what I suspected but there is no page or post named "blog" and it does not look like a plugin is the culprit. However, you got me thinking....
   I created a page called "blog" and set the "Post page" to it. And what do ya know... it works! However, it is only a hack as the real problem still exists since the Blog"s" page is still pointing the main blog to the Front static page. http://mhs.myotus.com/blogs/
   However, it does take a bit of pressure off for now as long as there are no hidden gotyas! with this hack.
