OWB 11g rel2 Client install. Error when creating my first Workspace

Question

We just installed Oracle 11g rel2 Std edition database on Oracle Linux. No problem connection with Toad. Everything works fine.
I have just installed OWB 11.2.0.1 client on Windows 7 and Windows 7 in XP mode. Having the same problem on both installations mentioned below.
No I am about to create my first Workspace in Repository Assistant where I get an error:
- Step 1, Database information
- Host xxx
- Port 1521
- Oracle Service Name: instance name (the one I use in Toad that works)
-SQL Net Connection: Checked  Seems that I have to use this when I connect with system user later on in the wizard.
- Step 2 Manage Warehouse Builder workspaces, checked
- Step 3 Create a new Warehouse Builder workspace
- Step 4 Create a workspace with a new user as workspace owner, checked
- Step 5 DBA Information: user system, Password: xxx
- Step 6 Enable Optional Features: Non selected
- Step 7 Workspace Owner(new)
- Workspace Owners’s User Name: owb_owner
- Password x 2
- Workspace Name: workspace_dev
- Step 8 OWBSYS Information:
- User Name: OWBSYS (OWBSYS and OWBSYS_AUDIT accounts are unlocked)
- Password: xxx
- Then I click next, and the error information are as follow:
“OWB software with the compatible version must be installed locally on the database server machine. If it is already installed, please acquire the DBA user credentials, an run the SQL script owb/UnifiedRepos/remote_owb_install.sql on the database server machine. This creates a database directory named ‘OWB_REMOTE_ADMIN’ that the remote installation will access to read the database servers OWBHOME/owb/bin/admin directory. Relaunch the Repository Assistant or execute OWB scripting command OMBSEED to seed the repository.
Since we have installed the Oracle 11g rel 2 database, the OWB are already in that installation. I also tried to run the remote_owb_install.sql and applied the OWBHOME/owb/bin/ when running sql. I still have the same problem.
Anyone experienced this and have a solution to solve this?

Hi Scott,
SQL> select privilege from dba_sys_privs where grantee='FLOWS_030100';
PRIVILEGE
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM
SELECT ANY TABLE
DROP USER
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
DROP TABLESPACE
CREATE JOB
ALTER SYSTEM
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM
ALTER SESSION
10 rows selected.
SQL> Select granted_role from dba_role_privs where grantee='FLOWS_030100';
GRANTED_ROLE
RESOURCE
CONNECT
SQL>
I am sure nothing has been revoked.
Is there a script I have not run?
