 * It is solved!
 * Doing what you said did seem to work, even when I switched back to my custom 
   theme. It turns out having %category% as my category perm. structure was what
   was screwing everything up.
 * For now I’ve stuck with /%category%/%postname%/ since everything is working and
   I like how my permalinks look that way. If I start seeing performance issues 
   I’ll switch back to the %year% method.
 * Thanks for the help!

 * Well, I tried one that it recommends in that article: /%year%/%postname%/ but
   that doesn’t solve my problem.
 * I noticed that when I use the default permalinks for single posts but leave %
   category% for my category permalink structure, both are broken (i.e. going to
   mysite.com/mycategory gives me the no posts error).
