 * Solved it!
 * The error was caused by me having /journal also set as the category base, which
   is the option below the Custom permalink structure settings.
 * so I now have my permalinks as:
 * /journal/%category%/%postname%/
 * and my category base:
 * /archives/
 * Works like a charm!

 * I am having the same problem, I am running the latest version 2.1.2 and want 
   my permalinks as:
 * /journal/%category%/%postname%/
 * But this is not working for me I get a 404 error when I follow a url.
 * /%category%/%postname%/ works fine though?

 * OK Your right.. but what I was after is having my blog located in its own section
   ie mydomain.com/blog and not having the blog as the main page for which I am 
   using a home.php template.
 * Anyway this problem is now solved. many thanks to Kafkaesqui for the link to 
   the infromation.
 * All I had to do was add `$more = 0;` to my blog.php page tmeplate file so it 
   now looks like this:
 * `
    <?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>
 * <?php
 * query_posts('cat=-0'); //gets all posts
 * $more = 0; // Enables the More tag to function within page
 * load_template( TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php'); //loads index
 *  ?>
 * Creating a new page called blog and selecting it to use this blog.php template,
   will enable the page to act as your main blog showing all post and the more tag
   working properly.
