'Access Denied' to nodes using Workflow modules

Hi --

I installed the workflow module, configured a new content type and all the workflow states to go with it. I added a new role for users with permissions to change the workflow state on that content type.

The problem I'm having is that only the author of each node and administrator can access any node of that content type. All anonymous users, and authenticated users (including members of the role with edit permissions) get 'access denied' when attempting to view the nodes.

I have checked and re-checked the workflow access permissions... I retained the default: anonymous and authenticated users SHOULD have viewing access to that content type regardless of the node's workflow state, and members of that special role are given edit permissions on that content type for every workflow state. I even explicitly added viewing access for members of that special role, but still they cannot view nodes that they did not create. BTW: there are no taxonomy categories involved with this content type, so it's not a permission problem propagated from that.

Any ideas on why I'm getting 'access denied' unless the user created the node (or is admin)???
