I think I am seeing a bug here... I was just starting a map, I had some dwarves dig out a nice earthen cellar to start a farm in, then there was a message:

xxx, miner cancels dig: forbidden area.
xxx, fisherdwarf cancels fish: forbidden area.

After that, all seven of the dwarves refuse to move, much less do any work, regardless of whether or not their job desigs are on or not.  When I recruit them and make them soldiers, they act like normal soldiers- they will go where I order them, and even wander about if I put the squad off duty, but when I un-recruit them they freeze in place and don't move.

I did search around for bug reports on this, but found nothing, so forgive me if this is old news.  Let me know if yuo want to see a save game or something.

Urrr.. oops. I figured out the problem.

I accidentally set standing orders so worker dwarves can't go outside, but there was no "inside", so they just froze.  I guess this still counts as a bug, kind of... but they are acting normal now that the order is turned off.
