Why does our user get an Access Denied when trying the view the Page Settings for a publishing page in a nested site collection? (e.g /company/manual)

Also, why would SharePoint access the root PageSettings.aspx page and not one relative to the current site collection? Here's an mini excerpt from the IIS log:

80 GET  /_layouts/PageSettings.aspx                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
80 GET  /_layouts/AccessDenied.aspx

The user has full control permissions to the nested site collection... and we've tried giving them full control to the top-level without luck.

What would be causing this error?

They are probably missing the required permission the group they are in. Check the group permissions. – Hugh Wood Dec 4 '12 at 0:18
