Todd,

> I created a slot with the same start/end dates.

The slot start date must be in the future. Once the opening time of a  
slot has been reached, new reservations are no longer allowed.   
However, the slot also has a date for when students may start  
reserving.  This must be in the past, for the slot to be available for  
selection.

> I specified that the slot be used only for that resource.
Probably not necessary, but unlikely to be the cause of the problem.

I assume the slot was set to be student-selectable when it was created.
