OOps.  Sorry, Alan.  I completly mis-read this.  In my copy of the manual,
Sec 7.12.9 is on a different page (I read it online and page#s aren't
relevant) and I missed the reference  =8-(

What I interpret from your description above is

 - the KEYWORDS file originally had Review= Owners  (per the example)
 - the Owner (or you?) changed the KEYWORD file to Review= Private
 - the Owner did a REVIEW (only way to check the header) and saw the
   changes, everything appears to be ok...
 - BUT an attempt by someone else (non-owner, non-admin) to REVIEW the list
   failed (with the usual 'You are not authorized...' msg)
 - So, you re-PUT the actual List Header Skeleton file (with the .IK)
 - now it all works ok.

If this is the sequence you described, it would appear there is something
for me to look into, and I will.  If not, please let me know.
