Problem with Archivist link

    Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a blog and I'm most of the way there, but for some reason the links generated by Archivist don't seem to be working- even though I've checked and followed the relevant tutorial.

    Basically in my blog template I'm calling Archivist like this:

    [[!Archivist? &target=`13` &parents=`11`]]


    Where 13 is the ID of the archive page and 11 is the container resource into which blog pages are added.

    Archivist autogenerates a "December 2011" link with (1) next to it, which is great (there's only one blog, which i've just set up) but when you click it, it tries to go to a resource that doesn't exist and seems to be generated to the site home page.

    The URL it tries to go to is: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=132011/12

    But if I manually correct the URL so that ?id=13 then it shows fine. How can I get the autogenerated link to work?

      Just to add, this is the snippet call in my Archives resource:

      [[!getPage?  
   &element=`getArchives`  
   &elementClass=`modSnippet`  
   &tpl=`blogPost`  
   &hideContainers=`1`  
   &pageVarKey=`page`  
   &parents=`11`  
   &includeTVs=`1`  
   &toPlaceholder=`archives`  
   &limit=`10`  
   &cache=`0`
]] 
<h3>[[+arc_month_name]] [[+arc_year]] Archives</h3> [[+archives]] [[!+page.nav:notempty=`<div class="paging">  <ul class="pageList">    [[!+page.nav]]  </ul>  </div>`]]

        I am having this issue as well. It seems that I already faced it, but forgot how to solve it. Can anyone refresh my memory?
