Administration settings and roles won't save

[wrongjohn]

I'm trying to use Contribute 3 with DW MX 2004.. I realize that by using WEB
DAV I can't use DW to administer the Contribute side, but can't I still use DW
templates to control the Contribute content? I'm not seeing DW templates show
up in Contribute 3 even though I'm giving Contribute users access to them.

Another quirk.. unless I'm in 'Transition Mode' Contribute 3 won't save any
roles I add except the DWCompatibility role. It also won't let me save an
Adminstrator email address or password. I've reinstalled and still no dice. Are
we not supposed to manage roles in Contribute 3 in Compatibility mode?
:confused;
