Maybe first check to see if they are really logged in as a dealer.
Try adding this to a page and see:

[if scratch dealer]
  I am a Dealer, and I should get dealer prices!
[/if]

After that, at least you know the system does see them as a dealer...

I think I finally fixed this, it seems the dealer user requires the field
price_level to be set to dealer in userdb, my userdb table doesn't have this
field so I'll have to add it. My interpretation of the docs is that all you
need to do is set the user to dealer status, this is clearly not all that is
required and I didn't see price_level mentioned anywhere?
