I used to get that error page too, but when I followed the link it took me
to Demons pages. I've not had the 'access denied' error as yet.

I had it, a couple of weeks ago. It started as soon as I used the new
CAB.OVL v1.2704 instead of v1.2618. It seems as though this overlay doesn't
like the proxy cache for demon pages, even though for 1.2618 the proxy was
needed. I had an interesting discussion with the helpdesk about this.
Although I never saw anything mentioned, I think they upgraded(?) the proxy
caching software.

The best thing to do is disable the proxy caching. That way there's no more
errors.
