It is possible that the problem you are encountering is unrelated
to your sub-sites.  The CMF catalogs an index, 'allowedRolesAndUsers',
at the time a piece of content is modified.  Users with local roles
are catalogued using their user ID (as the user object doesn't know
about the local role).

Hence, adding 'Reviewer' as a local role won't show "old" pending
issues, although new ones should appear.  To test this, try reindexing
a piece of pending content, and see if the local reviewer now has
the pending item show up.  If so, reindex all content, and your
problem is solved (until the next time you add a local reviewer,
of course).
