Drupal 5.7, CiviCRM 2.0.3

I have several groups of custom data for each contact. The contact information is created first. When the user registers with the site, the drupal user is linked to the contact properly via the civicrm_uf_match table. But when the new drupal user views or edits their account information, none of the custom data is displayed or editable. The groups are visible (as tabs), but the contents of each page is empty.

I wonder if this is because I have incompletely created the Drupal user.  I have called CRM_Core_BAO_CMSUser::create to create the Drupal user and the UF match record. Is there something else I should be doing to finish this task of registering a user for an existing contact?

I turned on "access all custom data" and "access user profiles" but the records still don't get created. I'm not finding anything in that creates the custom data. I have found CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::postProcess, but I don't understand how that works. Even if I don't set any custom data parameters in the CRM_Core_BAO_CMSUser::create, should not the records for the custom data at least exist? Or is this just wishful thinking?

Got it. For some reason, authenticated users could not access any custom data. That was the problem. User error. Sorry, and thanks for the attempts at help.
