Heh, you and me both.
I've given up on doing it the Interchange way, mostly because of some
(apparently) obscure problems with setting some access variables.
Instead I am simply redirecting the user to a custom PERL script that
checks the database (e.g. orderline.username = the MV_USERNAME cookie,
orderline.download = 1, orderline.status = 'pending' or
orderline.order_date within the last week, etc.) and sends the user the
file if he has access.
In my case I wanted to give them access to a whole directory of files if
they purchased access so this option worked out best for me.
Anyway, check out these URLs, they helped me understand what was going
on when first trying to enable downloadable products:

Currently I'm trying to figure out how to disable shipping when the user
buys downloadable products. Any ideas? ;)
