... is not a valid context

I'm having trouble adding a new role to selinux on FC4.  I added the
following lines to domains/user.te:

limited_user_role(ua_pw_user)

role_tty_type_change(user, ua_pw_user)
role_tty_type_change(sysadm, ua_pw_user)


and to macros/user_macros.te added 

role ua_pw_user_r types $1;

to in_user_role.

and to appconfig/default_type:
ua_pw_user_r:ua_pw_user_t

and to users:
user tmerritt roles { user_r ua_pw_user_r };

Now when I try to switch to that role I get:

[tmerritt at host ~]$ id -Z
tmerritt:user_r:user_t
[tmerritt at host ~]$ newrole -r ua_pw_user_r
Authenticating tmerritt.
Password: 
tmerritt:ua_pw_user_r:ua_pw_user_t is not a valid context


Am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks,
Todd
