[support] Taxonomy Access

Hello,

My Taxonomy Access permissions are not working right. The problem is 
somewhat like this:

Imagine I have user roles Teacher and Student. I have a category 
(taxonomy module) called "Edit" with terms Teacher and Student. The 
permissions say that if Edit=Teacher then a Student cannot edit that 
page. The problem is that even when a page is set to Edit=Teacher a 
Student can edit. Note however that an anonymous user cannot edit the page.

I reality the roles in question are different, but it's easier to 
explain if I call them Teacher and Student.

Anyways, the permissions broke in the move to Drupal 5. I just checked 
the old Drupal 4.7 site and on *that* site the permissions work. I 
checked the permissions on Drupal 5 and they look fine:

1) I go to admin/user/taxonomy_access
2) I select "edit" on the "Student" role.
3) I go to the "Edit" category (taxonomy).
4) On the row "Teacher" (this is the category term) under "Update" it is 
set to "Deny".

That should be everything, right? I don't understand why it doesn't 
work. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Daniel.
