WordPress 3.1 removing ‘category’ from the slug

I didn’t test it myself, but maybe this tip could solve your problem:

If you would like
yoursite.com/category/projects/projectname/
to appear as
yoursite.com/projects/projectname/

Simply enter /. as the value for
Category base in the permalink
settings page.
