[IRCServices] Chanserv Not DEOPing on join

[Jerry]

When a random user joins an empty registered channel,
it is treated just as if it were a new channel created.
The user gets op'd instantly even though his first visit.
I have tried various chanserv settings for the channel,
such as "leaveops", "secureops", etc. and nothing works
to stop the user from being op'd on joining. Even if after
the user joins and then the founder joins afterwards,the
founder (identified to nickserv and on the SOP list) is able
to be kicked by the first user without ever  being op'd.
I use the /chanserv identify command as founder and it tells
me I am already op'd. But if I try and kick the first user, it
tells me I'm not a chan op. Is this a bug to be worked out yet?
Or am I missing something in the conf files?
