Thanks Jeremy, this looks like it will work I am just a little confused as to what line in the JetspeedSecurity.properties file to change and to what do I change it to? If you could let me know that would great. Thanks again!!!

The issue was with the security cache becoming invalid. Another solution is to turn off security caching by editing the JetspeedSecurity.properties file. You can manually edit the security xreg file and it will automatically reload after approximately 5 minutes (unless the registry timeout has been changed).
