Try removing the individual permissions on the page, I believe these take complete precedence over the category-based permissions. You are trying to get away from assigning permissions to every object anyway.

So:

1. The page should no individual permissions
2. The user's group should have tiki_p_view, plus other permissions appropriate for the group.
3. Set the permissions for the category, giving the user's group tiki_p_view_categories
4. Put the page in the category

One other gotcha: Only add the page to one category. If you add it to two categories, your users will need tiki_p_view_categories to BOTH categories. I think this is odd, hint, hint.

I am using a categories to create workgroups and control user's access to the group members; it is working well - except the previous note above.
