Error description

• Error checking out in a ClearQuest enabled UCM project when you
  try to use a ClearQuest activity with 2 securitycontext links
  and you are are a member of only 1 of the groups:
  
  Internal Error: XML parse error:Failed to find expected child
  element "Atom_ns:content" The server returned an XML response
  that the client does not understand. Unable to retrieve the
  Record "<record id>", from ClearQuest.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  - setup a CQ database based on the UCM Schema
  - add 2 securitycontext references to a UCM enabled Record e.g.
  BaseCMActivity
  - Create 2 securitycontext Records configured with 2 groups.
  - Create a BaseCMActivity and add the 2 securitycontext records.
  - configure your UCM Project to use this ClearQuest database.
  If the test user is a member of both groups the checkout
  succeeds, if he is a member of only 1 group it fails.
