Kerplunk!!! 
<sheepish grin as I haul myself back into my chair>

Thanks Mark, that was exactly it. My "limited" destination sets all had the
"/*" subpath included as I naively thought that this would ensure that ALL
the possible paths on that domain would then be allowed. Silly me!!! Looks
like it decided to actually restrict as opposed to allow all paths.

Would this imply that all destination sets that I use should NOT use the
"/*" option in the subpath? It doesn't make sense to me but hey, I'm still
learning... :)

Cheers
William R.

Just dropping in... I think Tom meant that the s&c rule should not
contain any specifics, just the plain target domain name, "not even a
/*" to cite him here. That would mean "full access" to the site defined
in the rule.
