Strange error when migrating from R6 to R6.5.1

I am experiencing a weird problem after migrating from R6.0.1CF2 to R6.5

When I try to use the Administrator to edit the ACL of a database, I get the error

“you have insufficient privilege to observe user access for this database”

We had some terrible clutter in our data directory, so we decided to start afresh and install the domino server from scratch. later, we copied selected databases back into the data directory.

We had copied a bugtracking DB named bugtracking.nsf into data/templates/apps/bugtracking/bugtracking.nsf

Please don’t ask why.

The following sequence produced the strange behaviour:

In the Administrator:

  1. “Manage ACL” - ACL opens

  2. open the DB - works

  3. close the DB again

  4. “Manage ACL” - the error message appears (“you have insufficient privilege to observe user access for this database”)

When we renamed the directory the DB resides in to “btracker”, everything worked fine.

Also, when we left the directory name, but renamed the database to anything except “bugtracking.nsf” (e.g. btracker.nsf), everything worked.

I suspect this is a bug, but please respond if you have experienced anything similar

No explanation for WHY?, but …have you tried clicking Administration, Full Access Administration?

That should give you access if you are a full-administrator in the server doc.

Yes, the problem even appears if you are a Full Access Administrator.

What is worse is that the “access denied” message depends on the names of the database and the directory
