Make sure:
    You can call the external method successfully when logged on as Manager

    You can call the userAuthenticate method successfully when 
    logged on as Manager

    You have given userAuthenticate a proxy role of 'Manager' (or whatever
    is appropriate)

You can also start up Zope in debugging mode and watch the console
for messages like 'userAuthenticate raised an exception'.

If all this fails, you may have found a bug so let me know.
