Old files migrated from 1.5 into 1.7, can be linked like this and downloads work:
Insider --> Insider Document
Insider --> Customer Document
These links work fine if the document used to exist and was migrated over. they worked on the 1.5 version of the site also.
Now,
Insider --> Insider Document
Insider --X Customer Document
New documents loaded get this issue where they cannot be cross linked manually. This is strange and i have not been able to identify any differences in the settings or configurations of these files. Has anyone heard of this issue before, or know what i should be looking for?

How are you protecting these docman documents?
Are you using DOCman groups and CBSUbs integration to add subscribers to docman groups?

Community Builder Version 1.7.1
CBSubs Version 1.2.2
Documents are in groups, and subscribers from cbsubs are being added to the docman groups.
We just corrected an issue with doclink plugin where it was looking for menu item ids that had access level 0, which does not exist in our installation. Access starts at public = 1, so i had to modify the getItemId function. I am curious if this is a similar problem or not?
The other thing, is that it seems to work more appropriately in the new way than the data that was transferred over. It follows permissions better. If a link is made to a customer group item and the insider group tries to read it, it fails, where the old setup it would let them read it still. I just do not understand the mix match thats going on.

Great this means that CBSubs - DOCman integration is working just fine.

I have no idea what this doclink plugin does - thinking that your issue is more docman related than CBSubs at this point.

Once again I do not see this as CBSubs related - unless you are protecting some DOCman menu item perhaps?

If your not logged into a specific user level, you cannot get to the content areas that those items exist on, as well as the items being restricted. So it sounds like i should talk to docman then?
If by "restricted to specific login levels" you mean Joomla ACL groups, then I do not see this as a CBSubs issue. THis is easy enough to test - just temporarily unpublish the cbsubsbot (joomla plugin) and test these links. If problem is still there then it has nothing to do with CBSubs.
