I have two categories that need a special template. Each has one post and will display differently. So I read that if the category is named, for example, 'testing' and the template name is 'testing.php' then it should use that correct? Why would it not? I keep previewing the post and it just redirects to the home page.

What version of WordPress are you running. WordPress 3.0 is new and will support what you want out of the box as you described.

Running 2.9.2, you can use `category-CAT_SLUG.php`

Category templates, which your version of WordPress has, can do it.

Naming the template testing.php won't work. You need to use either a slug or ID of your category, so either category-testing.php or category-ID.php if you know the ID of category (ie. you're not making a theme for release and your IDs are constant).
