Reader has read site, read list etc. But still a user can't visit a site or read lists. Any ideas guys?

user with Readers access can't access a site or read a list; What else could be wrong?

I'd check lists and libraries such as the Style Library or SiteAssets, make sure they have access, as the site's pages may have artefacts that point there.

James: I checked both of those libs and they have all authenticated users with read access. Actually other users with "Reader Access" can access the site and list in question. It just one particular user. – David Mike Jul 18 '11 at 21:17
Ah, just one? Do they have a particular entry in the Users list in the site collection? Or just a member of an active directory security group? – James Love Jul 18 '11 at 21:22
that particular user is added to the site collections' web. i hv also added her to a sharepoint group. – David Mike Jul 18 '11 at 21:56
Absolutely certain she doesn't exist in a group that might have access explicitly revoked? – James Love Jul 18 '11 at 22:06
When I did a Check Permissions for the user I see like below.<ul> Site Readers Given directly Site Readers Given through the "style resource readers" group. Site Readers Given through the "domain\somegroup" group. Site Readers Given through the "Sales" group. Site Readers Given through the "Sales Site visitors" group.</ul> – David Mike Jul 18 '11 at 22:17
