Magento 1.9
I created a custom url rewrite.
category/tripods => catalog/category/view/id/809
I have checked and both the above work the same. This is site wide, same with all category sections.
When I enter my-site.com/category/tripods No products show, I do see the layered navigation / drilldown attributes and categories.
When I enter my-site.com/category/tripods? The page works as expected.
The ? is triggering something I am not finding.

I remove .html from categories in system > configuration > catalog > search engine optimizations
cleared the cache and re-indexed.
[url_path] => catalog-33/tripods.html
Still shows .html and why the -33 ?
Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions?
This may not help much directly, but may be a good reminder about forgotten code.
Teddy Dong's suggestion lead me back to the system configuration where I turned on "Easy Template Path Hints" by MagePsycho Extensions. Then I could see all the blocks, I thought my custom 2column-calalog.phtml template was not processing but it was. That lead me to go back over all the code in that file. There I found old code that would display static blocks depending on the query string, I removed it and now it works as expected.
