Thanks Danny and Keith - your pointers led us in the right direction.
Indeed the problem had to do with permissions on documents and
directories. We had updated the permissions on all the documents by
reloading them using the correct user, but in the end the one remaining
quirk was that the root directory (/) had no permissions. This problem
was obscured by the fact that we could call
xdmp:directory-properties ("/") and get back some stuff, I guess for
documents included in that directory - this led us to believe (falsely)
that we had permission to read that directory...
but
xdmp:document-properties ("/") would not return anything.
