Thanks for the reply.
The XC SEO appears to be working, in that I see the html in the status (non-JavaScript links), and they resolve correctly. However,...
I installed a siteMap generator yesterday (specifically, XML-SiteMapsGenerator from SafetyNetWeb) and ran it on my site. After many hours (still not done), I have been scanning the resultant, partial, sitemap. I note many different links to the same content, e.g.,:
http://www.miniature-giant.com/urban-legend-sophie-72mm-Reaper-sku-1504-Special-Edition-SE-c-410-p-1-pr-20.html
http://www.miniature-giant.com/urban-legend-sophie-72mm-Reaper-sku-1504-Special-Edition-SE-c-410-p-2-pr-20.html
The product name, short description title, sku, category, and product number match. These two html links are to the same product page. However, the "p-#" is different. This product happens to be on the second page of a category that is presented on two pages. This appears to indicate that there are links to this product on each of the two pages. I tried scanning for another sku (7001), which is in a different category:
http://www.miniature-giant.com/mark-iv-specter-Reaper-sku-7001-Combat-Assault-Vehicle-CAV-c-249-p-1-pr-1240.html
http://www.miniature-giant.com/mark-iv-specter-Reaper-sku-7001-Combat-Assault-Vehicle-CAV-c-249-p-12-pr-1240.html
http://www.miniature-giant.com/mark-iv-specter-Reaper-sku-7001-Combat-Assault-Vehicle-CAV-c-249-p-8-pr-1240.html
http://www.miniature-giant.com/mark-iv-specter-Reaper-sku-7001-Combat-Assault-Vehicle-CAV-c-249-p-9-pr-1240.html
http://www.miniature-giant.com/mark-iv-specter-Reaper-sku-7001-Combat-Assault-Vehicle-CAV-c-249-p-5-pr-1240.html
This category (#249) is spread across 12 pages. It is possible that when the sitemap generator is done, it will "find" links to this product on all 12 pages of the category.
Of course, this product is only linked to on one of the pages (#1). I assume that this would result in the search engines slamming me for multiple content, even though (or perhaps because) these html links all resolve to the same "real" page.
My thought, based on your reference in your last reply, is to remove the "-p-#-pr-#" from the html links. However, since I'm not sure how exactly this php>html>page is working, I wasn't sure if I would need to modify additional code in, say, products.php to accomodate the absence of the "p" and "pr" values. For example, modify the code to use the sku value to lookup the product in the db. Or, perhaps, the "real" parameter passing is still occuring behind the scenes and the form of the html text that is desplayed is irrelavant.
Is this a multiple content problem?
Can I simply remove the "p" and "pr" references from the html links, or will I have to modify the php code to use the sku instead?
Does another/simplier way to resolve this problem come to mind?
I'm very interested in any thoughts on this matter.

P.S. I also noticed that many products had both a "normal" html link and a "printable" link. When I surf to these two html links, they are of the same product, but have somewhat different content (missing nav bars, graphics, etc.). Would this cause a "multiple content" problem or no? Again, thanks!
