The problem goes away if I use the standard TxFile stores (as in the out-of-the-box 
distrib).

So it seems that this problem is specific to the either J2EEStore, 
SQLServerRDBMSAdapter or the standard/abstract RDBMSadapters from which the 
SQLServerAdapter is derived.

I am going to try:
1) Plain SQLServerAdapter (eliminate J2EEStore as the problem)
2) Plain MySQL (eliminate SQLServer as the problem).

I'll let you know what else I find out.

Thanks,

Patrick

I don't know why revision number is null. I'm not sure what it has to do with me 
setting permissions, unless the act of setting a permission is considered a revision. 

What more could I do to assist in debugging this?

Any idea why the revision number is null? It really should not...
