Workflow Permissions in Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0

Hey all,

I'm having an odd problem with a Workflow I set-up using Sharepoint Designer 2007 for use in Microsoft Sharepoint Services 3.0 (we're too cheap to buy MOSS 2007).  The workflow is attached to a Clients list and grabs data from it and from initiation variables (standard text boxes and a drop-down list), then drops all that stuff as a new item in a different list.  It's been working swimmingly, until now.

Here's the problem:
It seems that any users that already have permission to my site can initiate the workflow, no problem (regardless of permission level).  But whenever I add a new user to the site (i.e. - if we hire a new team member), they aren't able to run the workflow.  It says "Access Denied" and doesn't tell me why.  Changing permissions for the user has no effect (even up to Full Control!).  The only way the workflow starts working again is if I delete it completely and recreate it from scratch.

As you can imagine, this is a short-term solution, as it works.  However, with the turnover in this particular department (and with the number of fields I have mapped in the workflow), tearing down and recreating the damn thing every time is somewhat maddening.

Anyone have any helpful hints on just what I'm missing here?  I mucked around in SP Designer trying to find some kind of listing for permissions directly on the Workflow files, but didn't see anything.  Am I on the right track looking for that info?  If so, where the heck is it?!?  As you can see, this is frustrating. ;-)
