Error message symbol in Who's Online display

[sparklywater]

I have noticed that in my Who's Online display, an error message symbol is displayed next to some pages. This is the symbol that is displayed: http://www.sparklywater.com/aqueous/statusicon/wol_error.gif

I noticed that this error symbol only appears when a search engine is viewing the page. I have been trying to find out what is causing this error symbol to appear, but cannot find anything that could be restricting search engines from accessing those pages.

If anyone has any idea how to resolve this, please let me know. Here is an image showing the error symbols In the Who's Online display:

It just means the SE spider does not have permissions to access that specific page on your forum.

But I have checked all permissions and they all look fine. Even my robots.txt file is set to allow all search-engines to all pages. Does that error symbol mean it's due to a specific permissions setting, like the rel="noindex" attribute? Or can it be due to any permissions setting?

Here is a link to one of the pages next to which the error symbol is displayed in Who's Online:

SE spiders follow the forum permissions as set for the Unregistered / Not logged In usergroup.

Are there any usergroup settings which specifically affect search-engine spiders?

No, and doing so wouldbe considered Cloaking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking)and might get your site removed from the listing.

well, I was asking because the error-message is only shown to search-engines, whereas ordinary guests are able to access the pages without the error-message displayed.
