Default Losing Cell Protection When Saving Workbook

Excel 2003. I programmatically protect each sheet in a workbook as I
programmatically create the sheets. Moreover, I enable only the unlocked
cells in the sheets to be selected. I use:

WkSh.Protect
WkSh.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells

When I put breakpoints in while debugging I find that the protection is
working as expected (the sheet is protected and I can only select unlocked
cells).

When I am finished creating all the sheets, I then programmatically protect
the whole work book as:

WbNew.Protect

When I check the sheets after this operation, they still behave as desired.
HOWEVER, when I save the workbook using:

WbNew.Close SaveChanges:=True

and then open the workbook, I find the workbook protected (as expected), the
sheets protected (as expected), but I can select the locked cells in the
sheets

What could be causing this? Thanks for the help.
