Roles & Profile Docs

I had created a Database that uses three roles. It was implemented 2 years ago. The roles are used to restrict access to the editing of the profile document among other things. The original database works fine. I have recently copied the database to a different server and made some minor adjustments (not associated with either the roles or profile doc function). My problem is that when a new document is attempting to be created by a user with the author role (as well as author access in ACL), the action is stopped by an error saying that they don’t have sufficient access to perform this action. I have check both the Userroles and the ACL but everything looks the same as the old database. If someone could help me by pointing me to other items I may have missed, or if you can tell me the best way to proceed in tracking down the error, I would appreciate it. Thanks
