Gotta love users. :) No, it was never the case and its not something you did
to break it.
There are two options - either encouraging all users (or pushing out a
policy at logon) to change the autoacceptance settings so that all meetings
were autoaccepted or use a rule with a script to accept meetings from a
specific person. Changing the setting may irritate other users who don't
want meetings autoaccepted and using a rule requires you to force users to
create the rule since you can't push it out at logon.

A third option which won't work for meeting requests - she could be given
permission to all calendars to add appointments directly. Use the pfdavadmin
tool for this.
