[ic] mv_data_enable not set when superuser logs in

I posted recently trying to track down a strange "do you need to log in" 
error and with the help of the kind people on this mailing list worked 
the problem down to this. When a user, who is defined as a superuser in 
products/access.asc logs in and i do a [dump] immidiately afterwards i 
find that the mv_data_enable scratch variable is not set. From what i 
understand this is why i am getting "database update without permission" 
errors.

products/access.asc contains the following:

interchange     passdeleted   Super User              1

as i understand it, the 1 means that this user is a superuser. i removed 
the encrypted password in the above line.

After logging in as the user "interchange" i did a [dump] and found the 
following:

'mv_data_enable' => 0

Can anyone help me work out why this is happening? Using interchange 
4.6.5 on debian stable with mysql 3.23.49

Thanks,

John
