i'm just abt having the same problem.
fact 1: these howtos are somewhat dated and really not as good as
one would wish, but a good starting point.
fact 2: between releases zopes security model
has changed (several times). Im unsure abt security policy
(default open, close open system % default closed, open closed system).

If you apply old howtos to newer zopes, thats what happens.
Take a look at newer products and try to understand, how THEY did it.

sorry for not giving precise help

PS: much doc simply lacks date and/or zope version info
