[wp-testers] Permissions error

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

What version did you update to?

Filesystem permissions are unrelated to the "You do not have permissions  
to access this page" message, thats specifically that your WordPress user  
doesnt have the priv's to do it.
Is the account an administrator account? If so, try creating another admin  
user and see if that user has access..
