Try disabling the 'login_page' property of the cookie auth plugin, so
that a "normal" HTTP basic auth prompt happens.  Then, enable
'verbose-security' (and 'security-policy-implementation python') in
zope.conf, and unmask Unauthorized in the error_log object:  you should
get a traceback which shows why the logged in user is not allowed to see
the page requested.
