 Code to do this:

 {{{
 $permalink_structure = '';
 $cat_base = '';
 $tag_base = '';

 if ( got_mod_rewrite() && is_file(ABSPATH . '.htaccess') &&
 is_writable(ABSPATH . '.htaccess') )
 {
         $permalink_structure = '/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/';
 }

 update_option('permalink_structure', $permalink_structure);
 update_option('category_base', $cat_base);
 update_option('tag_base', $tag_base);

 $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

 }}}

 The above has been tested by hundreds of users -- this has been built into
 my theme for over two years.
