Did you add this transition to the visible (default initial) state?
This has to be done in order to make the transition available
for the default initial state (and all other states from which
you want to enable transition into the protected state).

That way you only allow reviewers (and managers) to invoke
this transition. If a regular member should also be able to
do this for his/her own content change this to, e.g.,
'Request review' like for the 'submit' transition.

Does this help in any way?
