[wp-pro] hire: almost have site back up - permalinks issue

Hi all,

Running wpmu 2.7 (I've upgraded from 2.6.5)

ISSUE: all of my posts (eg http://www.chefsline.com/blog/category/postname)
return a 404. When using link
http://www.chefsline.com/blog/BLOG/category/postname, they load. Note TWO
instances of blog. References to pages work fine. Seems to be post and tag
issue.

I need help to learn how to remove category_base, tag_base, custom structure
references to an erroneous "blog." Also, proper settings for wp_1_options.
And these questions are just our final guess as to why the site's url's are
whacked. Help appreciated - site is effectively down!

In http://chefsline.com/blog/wp-admin/options-permalink.php what shows is
Category base=/blog Tag base=/blog. I removed "/blog" from file
wp-admin/options-permalink.php but the change is not showing in admin panel.

Mysql table wp_1_options category_base and tag_base are blog_id=0,
autoload=yes, option_value = blank. (Should blog_id=1?)

Overall, we have changed and tested: removing all mu-plugins and plugins,
permalinks, htaccess, wp-Config, siteurl, and home.
thanks for responding. Jenn
