[IRCServices] SAMODE problems on UnrealIRCd after connecting ircservices

[Will]

I am running UnrealIRCd 3.1.1+Darkshades with ircservices 4.5.11.  Both
appear to be configured properly.  My problem is that once I connect the
two, I can nolonger use Unreal's SAMODE.  I get the following error:

  Permission Denied- You do not have the correct IRC operator privileges

If I shutdown the services and reoper I can then use the command.  I'm not
sure what I'm doing wrong, and I have seen mention of it in the mailing
list archives.

Thanks,

Will
