[Zope] Confera and strict permissions

I'm trying to set up a small site with a Confera topic (using Zope
2.1.6).  It is going to be accessed by some off-site co-workers
through the internet, so I am concerned about security.  Access is
through Apache on the firewall with some mod_rewrite address filters,
but I'm kind of a belt-and-braces guy when it comes to security, so I
only want people who have user entries and passwords to access the
discussion.  No anonymous access at all.

But, if I remove the default "Anonymous" access privileges granted in
the root folder, even users with user entries who can access other
documents get access denied when trying to view the Confera topic.

This happens for both remote and local access.

The error traceback seems to point to a problem with the tree tag
rendering components.

Any ideas?
