Users are not 'activated' after upgrade to 1.1.5

[holman]

I upgraded Invenio to 1.1.5.   Since then all users show as 'Active' 
when I review users in webaccess.
However when I become user they show up as inactivated when I try to 
submit.  The same behavior occurs when the user logs in directly.

 Authorization failure

Account 's...@xxxx.edu' is not yet activated. Try to login with another 
account.
If you think this is not correct, please contact: hol...@uw.edu 
<mailto:hol...@uw.edu>


I have tried toggling the active status on/off but that does not work.  
Can I fix this in the database directly?

thanks!
