Comment:

 We didn't implement the mapping of capabilities of custom post types.
 Right now you have to roll our own handling of custom capabilities
 entirely, using the map_meta_cap filter. I imagine the errors are due to
 edit_post being the capability, which then goes through map_meta_cap and
 maybe it determines you need edit_posts (instead of edit_movies)? I'm not
 sure.

 I'm not sure if it was our intent entirely to offer such fine-grained
 control and at least not offer the ability for map_meta_cap to do its
 magic.
