Unpublishing a node takes user to access denied page

When one of my users is the final one to rate a node to be unpublished and it is succesfully unpulblished, they are taken to an access denied page because they are not allowed to view an unpublished page. The problem lies in the drupal go_to function that takes them back to the page where they submited the vote. I am not sure where it should take them, but somewhere they do not get the access denied message.
