OK, it looks like you have to do it the other way. In the usergroup manager, set Can See Forum to Yes. Then, in Forum Permissions, go change it to No for all forums except the one you want him to see.
This does work but it's not ideal, user's can still see the forum home (although they don't see any forums listed) they can still access PMs (although not send them) and do other basics... Also if they try to access a forum they get a "no permission" error rather than the "banned" message.
I could fix a lot of this with template edits I guess to show a custom message to banned users but frankly it will add a layer of complication just not worth it.
I thank you for this option but my request stands, if possible for someone to make a product to over-ride a single forums ban I'd much appreciate it.
