Unfortunately workspace support in DAM is totally broken. First we 
thought that at least the Versioning of the meta information records in 
tx_dam is working (because this should be done with TCE and wouldn't 
need much work in DAM). But because of the insane storing, updating, 
listing and indexing functions it is a mess. You end up with several 
parallel records and broken links.

I tried about 10 patches from bugs.typo3.org and you can fix some 
symptoms of the version mess, but in the database it's still a mess and 
nobody fixed the problem that you end up with several records for the 
same file and different data depending if you changed them in a 
workspace or live or if you published them...

Our next step is to add a possibility to disable the workspace support 
completely...

Best regards

PS: If we're completely wrong and DAM Meta works great with Workspaces, 
we will be very happy if you could show us what we are doing wrong. But 
because I actually spent two days working my self trough a lot of bug 
reports, patches and changes in the code with testing, I think you won't 
be able to surprise me :-(
