Magento Admin Tab ACL issue

Question

Ive added a tab to the admin system->config backend...something i have done before without issue. For some reason, i am getting a 404 when i try access the tab (even though the 'tab' config contents are displayed on the DEFAULT view when go into system->configuration).

Ive been playing with the ACL...adding the code to the config.xml file, and alos trying to create a seperate adminhtml.xml file.....but it wont kick in. Please could someone look over my config code, and see where im going wrong. I think i just cant see it...code blind...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
    <Mworkz_Mavp>
        <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Mworkz_Mavp>

I was using the subsection name (avp), not the section name (mworkz).

so change:

<mavp translate="title">  ...  </avp>

to:

<mworkz translate="title">  ...  </mworkz>
