[support] Taxonomy Access question

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up the Taxonomy Access
module to disallow access to anonymous users to a
forum topic and several pages.

History: Tried using Simple Access, and that worked
very well to secure individual pages, but I am using
mailhandler and listhandler to create a discussion
list archive in a forum topic, and in order to make
that archive private, I believe I need to use Taxonomy
Access.  I have deactivated and removed Simple Access
and removed the database tables related to it as well.

I have uploaded the Taxonomy Access module, run the
mysql commands for Taxonomy Access, and manually
patched the file (I'm on Windows myself with little
remote access to the site server).

The access control is working a little for the forum
topics, but not at all for the pages.  Here's what
I've set up:

1 vocabulary called "Security" (for pages) with 1 term
called "Members Only".  There is also a vocabulary
called "Forums" (for forum topics) with a term called
"Archive".

Authorized users can view all.  Anonymous users are
supposed to only be able to view uncategorized nodes.

Here's what happens for an anonymous user:

When you navigate to a page categorized "Members
Only", an anonymous user can view it just fine.  When
you navigate to example.com/?q=forum, it says "No
Forums Defined" (which is just fine, because
authorized users can see the forums) but if I navigate
to example.com/?q=node/104 (one of the forum topics
that is supposed to be secure) I can see it just fine.
 This is an issue because someone may send a URL to a
non-member, and registration is required to view the
archive.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Matthew O'Malley
