Group/Role Folder Permissions not working in Cognos Installation

I have re-installed Cognos 11.1.7 on a new server.
We use LDAP for access
I did a Full Run Content Store including user information which I then imported into the new instance.
I had set up user/role access to all the folders in Team Content limiting access to certain folders. This works perfect in the old installation. However in the new installation, permissions aren't working at all. Every user/role can see every folder in Team Content even though on the folder they don't have permission.
I tried reapplying permissions and that didn't work
I tried deleting the permissions and adding them back in and that didn't work
I tried adding a new folder and giving it limited access and everyone can see it.
Did I miss something when I installed Cognos and imported the Content Store?

Did you remove the everyone role from system administrators?  Make sure you have at least one valid user in that role once everyone is removed.
