using XML access to update access control

I have some cloned Portlets I want to set access control on.

I made a copy of the xml from http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pvc/w....html#updacctrl

and set the name and uid based on my lookup from the portal admin using screens: Portlet - Manage Applications - selecting the WebPage50.war file and clicking show info.

Selected web module Portlet Application Name Portlets
webpage50.war com.ibm.wps.portlets.webPage.WebPagePortlet V_0_CO

Portlet applications belonging to this web module Portlets
com.ibm.wps.portlets.webPage.WebPagePortlet.1.$cloned.2_0_12D FNNI Subject Web Page

com.ibm.wps.portlets.webPage.WebPagePortlet.1

Here's my XML snippet:

<portal action="locate">


<web-app action="locate" uid="com.ibm.wps.portlets.webPage.WebPagePortlet">
<portlet-app action="locate" uid="com.ibm.wps.portlets.webPage.WebPagePortlet.1.$cloned.2_0_12D">
<access-control>

<role-block type="propagation" actionset="User"/>
</access-control>
<portlet action="update" active="true" name="FNNI Subject Web Page">
<access-control>

<role-block type="none"/>
<role actionset="Administrator" update="set">
<mapping subjectid="ws51bind" subjecttype="USER" update="set"/>
</role>
<role actionset="Privileged User" update="set">
<mapping subjectid="all authenticated portal users" subjecttype="USER_GROUP"
update="set"/>
</role>
<role actionset="User" update="set">
<mapping subjectid="anonymous portal user" subjecttype="USER"
update="set"/>
</role>
</access-control>
</portlet>
</portlet-app>
</web-app>

when I run this I get the following error - which doesn't seem to apply to just trying to update the access control.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>




<request type="update" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_1.2.xsd">

ch the names and IDs specified in the XML request. [portlet name=FNNI Subject Web Page]</message>
</status>
</request>

What am I missing? Am I using the wrong uid/name?

Here's the XML snippet again with <> changed to --'s.
