I'll bet this is a side effect of using the anonymous Ecogrid Get Service
rather than the AuthenticatedGet service.  We have both configured in the
registry, but I'll bet the search pane uses the one without Authentication. 
Its a challenge because we sometimes need one, sometimes the other, depending
on the explicit package we are getting.  This is true for data too.  The best
solution would be to have a single service that can get both public and private
data depending on the credentials provided, and modify the search pane to
prompt AuthMan for credentials if the first non-authenticated attempt fails.  

We are designing a better API along these lines for this as part of DataONE, so
this could be fixed as part of the move to DataONE APIs if it isn't needed
right away.
