Managed to resolve this myself, using another plugin, Page Security: http://www.contextureintl.com/wordpress/contexture-page-security-for-wordpress/

I would have thought that either this sort of functionality could be built in to bbpress, or bbpress documentation could include clearer help and advice that such a plug in might be needed.

i would mark this topic as closed, but can’t see how to do so…
