When my site is displaying a category for which I have a custom template, the navigation below the posts isn't working.
When I change the reading settings to display 20 posts, I am able to see all the posts, but when I decrease the number to 10 posts per page I can only see the first 10 posts because the post navigation gives me a 404 error.
You can view the error on this page:
http://scottleekimball.com/the-series/
Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on the navigation to see the second page of posts.
I'm using the same navigation on this page:
http://scottleekimball.com/chronology/
So, I'm not sure what could be causing that navigation to break in that first page.
Thanks in advance.
Try dropping a copy of your custom category template file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.

Thanks for the tip, esmi.
Here's the pastebin URL to the custom category template that's giving me problems:
http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1841740
I'm using the WP Pagenavi plugin, but I've tried reverting to default navigation and that gave me the same error.
Try replacing:
<?php global $query_string;
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");
?>
with:
<?php global $query_string;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=" . $paged);
?>

I replaced the block of code you suggested, but I'm still getting the error on this page:
http://scottleekimball.com/the-series/
I dropped the updated template in pastebin:
http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1842491
I'd appreciate any more suggestions you might have.
Thanks for your help!
Let's try another tack. Updated code: http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1842673

Hmm...still getting the same error.
Are there any other Loops running in that page? In the sidebar or elsewhere?

No, that's the only loop.
Here's my category.php template, which the nav works on.

Something else strange I just noticed:
When I delete that custom template from my theme directory, so the category that's giving me trouble is using the generic catgory.php template (pasted above) I still get them same 404 error when I click on the nav.
Is it possible this isn't a template coding error?
I was beginning to wonder if it was the wp_pagenavi plugin? Or another plugin? Try deactivating all plugins except wp_pagenavi to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
