All of you saying this is not working had me worried so I made some changes to mine...
I made a new group that works like my registered group but it is named
"Search Bots" plus I updated my spider list... Next I assigned my bots to be in this new group and saw the bots were in the forums...
I shut their access down to access forums, threads, etc... and the bots all got no permissions errors....
So, I then went back in and updated my settings so they can see forums and threads BUT I made it so they can't see profiles (Can't harvest E-mails that way) and locked them out of forums I didn't want them to see based on the user group...
Works great for me!
Thanks!
