There is currently an open issue which sounds like your issue so the description of the issue that I am referring to is:-
Using OWA in a multi-site environment and trying to access Public Folder items. Mailbox server is in one site and PF server is in another site. If a
user logs into OWA using
http://Front-end_server/Exchange they can open mail
which is in the same site as mailboxes, but cannot open PF items from the other
site...get Access Denied.
If you are getting the same symptoms as above then I would suggest that you log a case with us to verify that you indeed are getting the same behavior. On logging the case quote ETRACK:-
