The last bit sound like you have tweaked the right part -- did you
uncheck the 'acquired' box on the security tab for the state?  Also,
note that changing those settings won't have any effect on existing
content until it changes state -- the settings are used to "stamp"
the object whenever it enters the given state.

To test, try moving an object out of the state, and then back -- does
anonymous still see it?
