Htaccess is your friend in this case.
You can create 301 form your old category base to the new like so:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^old_dir/(.*) http://www.example.com/new_dir/$1 [R=301,L]
Change old_dir to category example.com to your domain and new_dir to your custom name.
Hope this helps.
Ohad.
