Ok, after putting in some print statements, I found that it wasn't
picking up the regex because of the way the category urls were created
with an include. I changed my regex and the name in my url so that
they both match the urlpattern i was trying to replace and it works
properly now.
replacement = url(r'^(?P<parent_slugs>[-\w]+/)*(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$',
'mysite.views.index.mysite_category_view', {}, 'satchmo_category')
urlhelper.replace_urlpattern(urlpatterns, replacement)
urlhelper.remove_duplicate_urls(urlpatterns, [])
