Buying $10 for Wordpress 3.1 archives.php fix

Hi, I'm trying to create a new theme and am having some trouble getting the archive.php file to display the correct data.

This is what I want to happen:

- The archive (eg. April 2011) only shows posts from certain categories
- The archive page is paginated using WP PageNavi

This is what is currently happening:

- The archive is showing posts from certain categories but it is showing for all dates. So the archive page for April 2011 is also showing posts from February 2011 etc.

I think it needs a fix in the new WP_Query. This is the current code (it's a total hack job!):

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	$my_query = new WP_Query("showposts=4&cat=-5,-6,-7,-8,-9&paged=$paged");
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>

Code (markup):

And for the pagination:

	<?php
      query_posts('cat=-5,-6,-7,-8,-9' . '&paged=' . get_query_var('paged'));
?>

<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } 
else { ?>
<p class="pagination">
    <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>
    <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?>
</p>
<?php } ?> 

Code (markup):

I can pay $10 by paypal if you can help me fix this code and do what I want it to.

Thanks,

Peter
