Unable to create ticket - non-members not allowed, yet flag set?

I’ve set up a handfull of rt implementations ( usually for ISPs looking for
a ticketing system - it’s great )… yet this time I’m getting the most
bizarre message:

Outside message is processed by rt-mailgate:

Feb 8 12:14:47 jedhead sendmail[967]: MAA00966:
to=|“/usr/local/rt1.0.7/bin/rt-mailgate general correspond”, delay=00:00:01,
xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, stat=Sent

But bounces right back saying:
There has been an error:
There has been an error with your request:
You don’t have permission to create requests in this queue. Either you’re
not a queue member or non-members aren’t allowed to create requests in this
queue.

Yet, logging on via the rt user to mysql and viewing the tables in the rt
database ( basically, allow_user_create is 1 if the formatting is all skewed
&& admin-webrt.cgi verifies that this value is set. I even toggled the
checkbox and checked that it corresponds to allow_user_create in the queue
table ).

Here’s the stuff you ask for at the end of the FAQ:

Web bits are working fine ( admin-webrt.cgi, webrt.cgi ).

Nothing really interesting for patches.

Thoughts?
