SPS 2003 Upgrade to MOSS 2007 : /_layouts/mngsubwebs.aspx

I've come across a permission problem which has tripped me up after what i thought was a successful upgrade from an SPS2003 site to MOSS 2007.

In my old SPS2003 site every site (approx 50) uses a 'Links' web part at the top of the landing page that contains a link to '/_layouts/1033/mngsubwebs.aspx'. If i browse my old SPS2003 site with just read access then no problem. However, i try the same links on the upgraded MOSS 2007 site using a read only account and im confronted with 'Access Denied' messages.

The workaround i came up with was to change the link to :

'/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx?ShowSites=1'

The shows a similar view.
