Can't book a meeting in Exchange 2010 room resource

Just created my first room resource in our new Exchange 2010 environment. I set the default permissions to "Author", myself as "owner" and also set the room to auto-accept calendar invites.

When I go into Outlook(2010) and try to create an appointment, and then add the room resource, I see a message that says "you don't have permission to send mail to this recipient:conf1".

What am I doing wrong?

This used to be a shared resource on our Exchange 2003 server. I moved it over last week and then made it into a Room Resource just now. I need to fix this ASAP so folks can schedule meetings!

Thanks in advance.

Update:
This appears to either be directly related to my domain account (I'm a domain admin) or the fact that I'm using Outlook 2010.

I can't send meeting requests to ANY of our conference rooms. There are four total, and only one that I've "converted" into a room mailbox.

My account? Outlook 2010?

I can manually put an event right into these calendars, but cannot create a meeting in Outlook using the Scheduling Assistant.

Can someone else send a meeting to this conf room?

This ways, we'll be able to drill down to the exact issue

Yes. I tried from a normal user on Outlook 2007 and she had no problems creating the meeting from the Scheduling assistant. when I try to create a meeting using the scheduling assistant, from outlook 07 or 10, I get the "You don't have permissions to send to this user: <resource name>".

Aight, go ahead and remove yourself from the permission list and give yourself delegate rights to the mailbox - check again, if this fails remove yourself as delegate and provide yourself full mailbox rights using EMC.

I'll test this in my lab on Monday.

Turns out that a lot of my users cannot book the rooms. They, including me, who is a domain admin, receive the following error:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

Room#1 (room#1@mydomain.com)
Your message can't be delivered because delivery to this address is restricted.

Diagnostic information for administrators:

Generating server: MYSERVER.mydomain.com

room#1@mydomain.com
#550 5.7.1 RESOLVER.RST.NotAuthorized; not authorized ##

How can I manually go in and set all my domain users to have Author rights to each of my four conference rooms? It's set properly when looking at the Permissions of the resource calendars in Outlook, and everything seems to be set properly in the EMC.
