Loading ...Wordpress: “You don’t have permission to do that.”
You: “What!? I’m an Administrator! I can do what I want damn it!”
Until a fix is released a workaround for adding a new category is to simply fill the Category name:, Category slug:, Category parent: and Description: (optional) fields as usual but click on one of the input fields and press the Enter key. By avoiding use of the Add Category » button you can still add new categories to your install of WordPress in harmony.

Nice one thats been driving me mental and no one on the wordpress.org forum reponded.
There are public patches you can apply to resolve this permissions bug; I know K2 (the theme I’m using) has released a fix for it!
I’ll look into it tonight and submit the fix.
