I am no expert, but there was a wonderful drupal dojo lesson on ACL and other niceties of the Drupal node access system, given by Andy Kirkham (ajk^) himself, and I wrote up the class notes, perhaps they might be of help:
btw, make sure you backup your database before zapping your node access table :)

Quoting Jason Flatt drupal@oadaeh.net:
I've got an intranet site up and running that was started w/Drupal 4.7.something. I installed, at that time, the node privacy byrole module [1] to control who can access what. Eventually, I got around to updating the site to Drupal 5. Before I started that process, I disabled all contributed modules, including node privacy byrole. I was pretty sure I followed all the steps necessary to disable that module, but I must have missed something, because now no access control module I've tried will work.
What does that mean, exactly? You can't access the nodes? Anyone can access the nodes?
Everyone can access all nodes regardless of the access control scheme I have in place. I'm trying to limit who can access what, and it's not working. I have another site in place where I'm using tac_lite quite successfully, so I'm sure it's not the module or my use of it, but something in the site's configuration, database, or something else that I have not been able to find yet.
