TS Group implementation issue!

Sbardeo

Hi,
We have our CMS implementation on Windows 2003 server and we are using TS 6.5 SP2 version.
Currently we are using one common domain group for all the branches and workareas. Because of this, any user can access any branch and WA.
To restrict access to WA, we are using TS groups as a new security model.
I have implemented this security model on our IW Test server, which is having same configuration as IW production server and it seems working.
When I tried to implement TS group on Production server for few branches and workareas, it was behaving properly while navigating to content in WA but whenever user tried to publish any content using WF it used to throw error:
"Invalid Workflow Template, no element found at col 0, line1 at Parser.pm"
But same thing was working fine when I logged in using Administrator user.
I implemented TS groups on our IW Production server using following steps:
1. Created TS groups.
2. Done iwreset -a
3. Added users to respective TS groups.
4. Done iwreset -a
5. Changed group of Branches, sub-branches, WA and all contents inside it using iwchgrp, to new TS groups.

After this when I tried to publish content it allowed me to navigate inside WA as I was member of that TS group, but when I tried to publish content it was throwing above error but not for Administrator user.

I have also added Administrator, SYSTEM users to all TS groups. I also tried to change security of IWHOME folders by adding iwglobal, everyone with FULL Control privileges but it was not working. I am still not getting why system thinks that WFTs are empty.

Please Help!

The error message indicates some value is missing while task is instantiated or similar, it doesn't mean workflow file is empty.
