Ya there is a .htaccess that has the base set to deptblogs what could I change in here to get it to work?

[kwheatley@sftpface2 wordpress]$ cat .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /deptblogs/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]

RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

#Redirect 301 / http://intranet/template_departments.cfm

This looks too complex for me to interpret for sure without real-world tests, particularly, because [L] in .htaccess context does not actually end rewriting like one might though. (If you really want to be sure no redirect is already in progress, test REDIRECT_STATUS environment variable like this:

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$

.)

Looks like you have added some rules while trying to solve your problem, while rest came from default Wordpress installation. I'd leave only default Wordpress ones and see if it solves unnecessary redirects.
