Upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. Doubtful it’ll solve your problem, but you REALLY should anyway.
After that, de-activate all your plugins. Go to Settings > Permalinks, and re-save your Permalinks. Do you still get the same error? If not, you should be able to narrow it down to the faulty plugin by re-activating them one by one.
If you still get an error, check your .htaccesss again for any extra characters or rubbish that’s been inserted that’s screwing things up.
Thanks much. I will try this and report back. Just for reference sake this is my current .htaccess

i am having the same problem. did you get a solution?
This didn’t work for me, but my permalinks problem was actually a template problem. I needed to manually change the links in my sidebar template to match the permalinks on the blog.
I am having the same problem and now assuming I have a template problem. Can someone lend me some insight, I didn’t even have a .htaccess file until I looked through the permalink page.
I’m having the same issue but it happened after I added a third page in the 2010 theme- now it only redirects to the new page and not to my site’s main (home) page
anyone have a solution for this?
Fixed it! Turns out, it was a conflicting plugin.
