I just realized something else. I went to the rights management page in xem, and found that the Admin *user* did not have programming or admin rights. So, I checked those boxes and went through the site creation process, but still no joy. :-(
So, to summarize, I've made a new site owned by the global admin user who has programming and admin rights. But still the same on the workspaces site.
