I tried opening the place using notes client etc and the database main.nsf in the place's directory opened fine.
After googling around i found a line that said it was to do with allowing or grant access to everyone to reader editor but the place it self did not have the
acl set properly.
So I opened the database with http://<site>/LotusQuickr/<placedir>/main.nsf?opendatabase&login url
and this worked fine.
So basically force a login.
To fix it permanently mess around with the grant access to everyone settings and possibly the database ACL.
If you find a formal solution please let me know.
