I have installed filemanager module, attachment module and acidfree along with the private patch for filemanager that comes with it.

I have set filemanager to upload all files in both acidfree and attachment into the private directory.

Acidfree works fine. Attachment module works fine for upload and even deletion but when I try to download an attachment it gives me a 403 error... telling me I do not have access to the file...

Any ideas where the conflict might be and how to patch it?

I think this is a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/43119

Try the patch there (it applies to acidfree.module) and see if it fixes the problem.

That patch seems to do the trick... I can now download the attachments.

The next step is to implement a privileges check in the attachments module similar to that in acidfree so that private attachments are not downloadable by unauthorized prying eyes.
