[rt-users] Problem with a user. Database problem?

I hate to reply to myself, but I just discovered even if I make this 
"problem" user a superuser, it still can not create tickets because the 
drop down menu for creating tickets is still empty.

Could I have a serious database problem? Has anyone seen this before?
