Routing blues: routing / subcategory challenge

Hello fellow bakers,

I've been trying to figure out a route challenge. 

I have the following routes which work fine:

Router::connect('/category/*', array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'index', 'category'));

Router::connect('/subcategory/*', array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'index', 'subcategory'));

As you can see, they pass a param of either 'category' or 'subcategory', this is used in the categories controller to change which model it searches from.

However, the URL treatment is formatted as such with these routes: /sitename/subcategory/bananas/

I would ideally like to access a subcategory as follows via the url (you've probably guessed by now):  sitename/category/food/bananas

I've tried a lot of route variations with no luck. I think this is as close as I've got:

//this doesn't seem to fail but returns nothing

Router::connect(

    '/category/:category/:sub_category',

    array('controller'=>'categories','action'=>'index', 'subcategory')

);

//this works fine for categories

Router::connect( '/category/*', array('controller'=>'categories','action'=>'index', 'category'));

Thanks for your time!
