Ok, so I followed the instructions in the
URL above, but unfortunately the problem
remains. Note that:

- On a stock Ubuntu install, the "web.xml"
config file is located in "/usr/share/geoserver/WEB-INF".
- GeoNode and Geoserver are running on the same host
  (so I set GEONODE_BASE_URL to localhost).
- The problem affects all layers (raster & vector).

Still, I think that this narrows it down.
There is definitely something going wrong
with the handshaking between GeoNode and
Geoserver. Within GeoNode, permissions
and user IDs are working, because I can
e.g. set metadata editing permissions and
they work as expected.

Cheers,

Ben
