Are your permalinks broken, regardless of the version of Wordpress you try? I kept getting 404 “page not found” errors after using a custom structure in the permalinks.
I initially attributed this error to Wordpress as I had encountered several permalink issues with it in the past. I started out with Wordpress 3.0, upgraded to Wordpress 3.0.2 (the latest current version available) and later downgraded 2.8, still without success. After a hours spent troubleshooting, I finally suspected it could be the WAMP server I was using on my development machine.
EUREKA!
