I've succeeded same problem with the following way:

- go to the greenstone web interface: in your computer somewhere like
this:
http://localhost/greenstone/cgi-bin/library

- go to administration page

- select list user or add a new user (you will be asked to provide a
password)

- Create a user with the "all-collections-editor" group right or modify
a user's profile to add all-collections-editor. Group column must look
like this:

administrator,colbuilder,all-collections-editor

Now it is working im my computer.
