OK, then, assuming that access to the files are all or none on a given node, you might be able to get away with creating just 1 view as a "Node Content" display using the Views Attach module (http://drupal.org/project/views_attach). You might have to create 2 "node content" displays within the view - one with access for anonymous users only, one with access for authenticated users only, and set the filters accordingly using whatever field/term you use to set file access for the node.

Don't miss Michelle's second recommendation here: create two file fields.
The only problem with that, is the inability to change the status of a file later.
A secondary problem is that there are already several file fields per node [potentially; the organization has just requested that new twist today], so I would have to duplicate each of them, and at that point it would be easier to just use two identical content types divided by access rights.
I think I'm going to have to do this with several views. One for looking at an individual node, and others for various kinds of searching. Not sure what I'll have to do for editing nodes in that setup.
