I tried your suggestion, I inserted base as shown

- root
  |
  +-- base   <-- added shortcut to TestPage; set DB Mount here
      |
      +-- TestPage
          |
          +-- Page 2

The site displays correctly in the FrontEnd.

Neither base nor TestPage will persist as a DB Mount. I can highlight one or
both of them and save, but when I check back neither is highlighted and
there is no DB Mount for the user.

If I (admin) switch to the user and check the Workspace Manager | Workspace
List, it always says that "Database mountpoints:	Mount points from
user profile are used." whether I have checked Mount from groups: DB Mounts,
or left that un-checked and defined the DB Mount within the user profile.
Either way, the DB Mount is empty when I switch to the user, or log out as
admin and log back in as the user. The user is a member of group Editors. It
doesn't matter whether I define the DB Mount in the Editors group and use
that in the user profile, or define the DB Mount directly in the user
profile.

Further ideas welcomed.

Thanks,

Denny
