Limited Access Not Working on Folders

Environment:

SharePoint 2010, no service pack installed

Scenario:

• There is a folder in a document library on a site.
• Bob does not have access to the site, nor the document library.
• I break inheritance to the folder and grant Bob access.
• Bob is then given a link to get to the folder in the document library.
• Bob opens the link and is told Access Denied

Troubleshooting:

• All logs give a standard access denied error
• Nothing shows up in the Event Viewer
• Works in other site collections in the same web app
• Exported trouble site collection and reimported into another web app, no luck
• Other mundane things that left me frustrated

Microsoft came to the rescue:

Microsoft Support gave me a lovely command to run:

• disable-spfeature -identity viewformpageslockdown -url http://sitecollection.com

Apparently this happens on site collections that are created based on the publishing template. My site collections that were based on the Team site template didn't have the problem
