Actually, I don't think that is strictly true! And it reminds me of a 
period of confusion I went through a few months ago, when I was 
convinced that either I did not understand how roles were supposed to 
work or that there were bugs in the implementation. It turned out that I 
had cut and paste a folder with its own own View permissions into 
another folder with incompatible View permissions. I have forgotten the 
exact details but I think I had the Manager role in the outer folder but 
only the Authenticated role in the inner folder. I had totally forgotten 
that I had been fiddling with the View permissions days or weeks before. 
So for the original questioner: check that you have not shot yourself in 
the foot too!
