Are your still logged in as the administrator account that created the
GUF?

I should document this - BasicAuthentication information can never be
expired.

Are you calling the ZSQL methods from a DTML method, or did you replace the
DTML method with a ZSQL method with the same name? If the latter, this
is documented in the README tab in the controlpanel/Products/GenericUserFolder.
Did you give the DTML method a proxy role with access to the ZSQL method
(also in the README).

Let me know how you go - note that this is prerelease code. I announced
it to zope-dev yesterday and its already being offered up on the main
mailing list :-)
