I created a new database and set up category.  But when I try to create a new article in the database and select new, I receive a pop-up for Select Category, but will not allow me to select a category and it will not allow it to remain blank.  The category shows up but it is grayed out and can not be selected.

Can you tell me what I might of set up wrong?

I can't reproduce this. 

I make a category (though I can't imagine why one would at this point, they kind of suck), it shows up in the pop up and I can select it.

Can you put it in steps exactly what you are doing?

When enabled, you can select member group permissions independently of the parent database

That is really all there is to the configuration.
