Insufficient priv error when executing DBMS_ERRLOG through PLSQL

Question

Hi,
I shall be grateful if any one of you give me the solution at the earliest.
I have 2 schemas like A & B those are running on Oracle 10g rel2.
As per my buz req' I need to create DML Error log table for 'A.T1' table in B schema using DBMS_ERRORLOG package.
I have granted direct SELECT on A.T1 to B (...not through ROLE as it doesn't work in plsql)
The problem is when i'm running the procedure,
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG('A.T1', 'err_T1', 'B');
in SQL*Plus of B schema, it's creating the error log table successfully.
But the same will get failed when i run this error log procedure with in a procedure owned by B schema.
It throws 'ORA-01031: insufficient privileges'...
I hope this is related to privilege issue which is working fine in SQL*Plus but NOT in PLSQL stored procedure.
Awaiting your earliest reply.
Thanks.

>I dont think it's an issue with direct privilege. Actually the
package is working when i execute it with in a ananymous block,
but the same get fails when execute it through procedures...
Role privs work with anonymous PL/SQL blocks. Does not work with stored PL/SQL code.
