Created a user with permissions to one table, but unable to access the table

Question

I've tried to create a Login that will have access to a single table from a few different databases.
When I try and query the table, using the created Login I get the following error:
"The server principal "log_Reader" is not able to access the database "MyDB" under the current security context."
Here's the SQL I used to create the Login/User:
USE MASTER
GO
CREATE LOGIN log_Reader
WITH PASSWORD = '<password>'
GO
USE DB1
GO
CREATE USER log_Reader FOR LOGIN log_Reader
GRANT SELECT ON dbo.logtable TO log_Reader
USE DB2
GO
CREATE USER log_Reader FOR LOGIN log_Reader
GRANT SELECT ON dbo.logtable TO log_Reader
USE DB3
GO
CREATE USER log_Reader FOR LOGIN log_Reader
GRANT SELECT ON dbo.logtable TO log_Reader
USE DB4
GO
CREATE USER log_Reader FOR LOGIN log_Reader
GRANT SELECT ON dbo.logtable TO log_Reader
Does anyone have any ideas what I've missed ?
Thanks, Jason

I cannot reproduce the error, can you run my script?
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [test1] WITH PASSWORD=N'test',
 DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
USE [B]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t1](
[c] [int] NULL,
[c2] [char](1) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE USER [test1] FOR LOGIN [test1] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
GRANT SELECT ON [t1] TO [test1]
EXECUTE AS USER = 'test1';
--Use B database
SELECT * FROM [t1] ---works
REVERT
USE master
GO
EXECUTE AS USER = 'test1';
SELECT * FROM B.dbo.[t1] ---works
REVERT
