I recently installed a fresh version of Drupal 5.3 from scratch. After following the instructions I have gotten the Taxonomy Access Control module working. However with it installed and enabled, I continually get within Administer->Content Management->Post Settings the message indicating that Drupal thinks there is an issue:

"Node Access Status
If the site is experiencing problems with permissions to content, you may have to rebuild the permissions cache. Possible causes for permission problems are disabling modules or configuration changes to permissions. Rebuilding will remove all privileges to posts, and replace them with permissions based on the current modules and settings.

Rebuilding may take some time if there is a lot of content or complex permission settings. After rebuilding has completed posts will automatically use the new permissions.
[Rebuild Permissions]"

I was told very matter-of-factly that this occurs only when Drupal detects a permissions issue. And as such I do have one. A node that is assigned to a term "Web Admin" that is controlled by the user role "Web Admin Staff" is editable by a user that is not part of that role. This is the only page for which the permissions for that user appear to be incorrect. Attempting to add the user to any other role (or remove them) appears to cause havoc with the permissions.

When I attempt to push the button to "Rebuild permissions" I get feedback that the permissions were rebuilt successfully, but the message above always returns instantly. I hope someone can shed some light on this. I am sure I installed correctly, but the behaviour is just all over the place.

If anyone should stumble on this issue, please try the 2.x branch and see if that resolves the problem. I remember having problems like this with the 1.x branch. Reopen if it still occurs (but be sure to go through the "Troubleshooting" section of the TAC documentation first).
