You are not authorized to access this database

One of the users is getting the error 'You are not authorized to access this database' when trying to access a particular notes database, he does have manager permissions on that file, so not sure why the issue. He's using lotus notes 8

FYI:  I checked with the user and he does not have any problems accessing the lotus notes locally or on the web, and he hasn't changed the password of late. As a workaround, I made a copy of that database and copied it over locally and he's able to access the local copy. Can any one help me to figure this issue?

And what does the log database on the server tell you, when the user tries to access the database?
delete the database icon/ icons (incase of multiple replicas) from the workspace, compact the workspace. close the notes client, delete cache.ndk & bookmark.nsf. start the notes client, add the database icon by open database dialog, it should resolve your problem.
I know its wierd but do a check -> the access control list (ACL) if the type for the user is correct. it should be "Person"
