I ran into similar problems with wordpress a while back where my category page was ranking high then the actual article itself – canonical urls made sure that the article was the page that ranked in serps.
Had no clue how joomla worked so wasnt sure why it was creating duplicate content, and I have always used robots to disallow following of certain pages.
When you mention category page which gives an excerpt vs the actual artical I see where the issue might be the same with joomla. Started using WP in Dec 11 and never even thought of that! So how exactly did you work that out in WP?

Just checked and WP includes the canonical tag automatically on the post pages … maybe they didnt in an older version?
