Thanks.

Problem solved! I'd been looking at the wrong permissions. Turns out I 
that was questioning the generic "view" permission (which was acquired 
anyway). While MetaPublisher uses specific permissions as filters to 
determine which aspects of the published content are accessible. 
Setting the MP specific permissions fixes the problem. Shame this 
wasn't made a bit in the MP tutorial.
