"identifier DBMS_FGA must be declared" When called from PL/SQL package...

Question

Hi there,
I am trying to call dbms_fga dynamically (of sorts) from a package, and I am getting the error as per the title.
I have tried as many ways as i can think of calling this from another package, with similar results each time.
The user/owner of the package has DBA rights, so it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue.
Oracle Version is 11.1.0.6.0 on Suse.
any ideas on this anyone?
Cheers
CODE:
Attempt 1:
PROCEDURE enable_sql_auditing (on_off in boolean default false) is
v_ssql varchar2(900);
cursor c1 is
select table_name
from all_all_tables
where owner=gcv_pkg_owner;
begin
for rec in c1 loop
sys.dbms_fga.add_policy(object_schema =>''|| gcv_pkg_owner ||'',
object_name => ''|| rec.table_name ||'',
policy_name => ''|| rec.table_name || '_AUDIT''',
handler_schema => ''|| gcv_pkg_owner ||'',
handler_module => 'FGA_SQL',
enable => true);
end loop;
end enable_sql_auditing;
Attempt 2:
PROCEDURE enable_sql_auditing (on_off in boolean default false) is
v_ssql varchar2(900);
cursor c1 is
select table_name
from all_all_tables
where owner=gcv_pkg_owner;
begin
for rec in c1 loop
v_ssql := 'begin sys.dbms_fga.add_policy(object_schema =>''' ||gcv_pkg_owner|| ''', object_name => '''||rec.table_name||''', policy_name => '''||rec.table_name||'_AUDIT'', enable => true); end;';
execute immediate (v_ssql);
end loop;
end enable_sql_auditing;

DBA is a role.
permissions within PL/SQL have to be directly granted rather than through roles.
i.e. you need to directly grant execute permission on the package to the required user(s).
