What really monkeys this up (my apologies to any monkeys on the list) is that after I get this rule working, I have a exception for a category of products that are limited to 10% regardless of amount of order total.
What is that actual error you are getting?

Its not an error yet :) What I can't wrap my head around it how to handle the case where the customer is entitled to an additional discount based upon the value of items in the cart, yet they are not entitled to recieve that additional discount percentage for all the items in the cart.

                   10% off           5% Promo
Part    Retail     PriceRule   Qty   over $500          Total
A       $10        $9           10      0               $90     
A       $10        $9           70      35              $595
B       $10        $9           10      0               $90
B       $10        $9           70      0               $630

So if a customer had 70 of partA and 70 of partB which is exempt from any more discounting, their cart total should be $1225, not $1260

I guess I need to get a promo I created working, before I worry about the exception to the promo :)

I'm really lost here... maybe I'm missing something obvious.

One thing I'm not clear about it where you are using price rules, and where you are using promotions. The two are very different.

I think what you are describing here is easiest to do with promotions. You can specify a category (or multiple categories) that are excluded from a promotion condition or action or in general.
