Finally managed to sit down and play this one through start to finish in one go. A bit of head scratching along the way. 400 loot short of max but all 8 secrets. 2hr 53mins.

Amazing mission. Just wish I could've sided with Rowena. Don't like to be the "good guy" especially if I sympathize with Rowena more than the other characters in the mission.

My garden key doesn't open the door to the new barracks
I'm using the walkthrough for this part because I thought I was totally sideways but I think something is wonky. I'm kind of stuck at this point

My notes are very vague on what opens this door, but one sentence suggests that the lock can simply be picked.

Sorry, by new barracks, I mean "barracks". There's the old barracks and the barracks with a gate in the way. In the UW days I called it a portcullis. Northwest corner of the map, by the three statues, west side door/portcullis, according to the walkthrough on thiefmissions, section 17,
Go north, then west all the way past the garden, then turn south. Use the Garden Key here, too, and you'll spy the barracks building to the right. Except the key doesn't work there. Neither does picking. I just tried, just to make sure I wasn't crazy.

That's the door to the basement, the barracks is on your right as you look at that door, having said that the garden key should open the basement door, I've just checked from an old save. Don't know why it's not working for you, can up upload a save, might be able to work out why not.
Having said that there are a number of ways into the basement, check my lootlist for map 3, you can access the basement from the kitchen, south lobby, SE garden and central courtyard.

To sum up the state of the doors there: The basement door can be unlocked with the garden key, as well as another gate in roughly the opposite direction. The door to the barracks, located in a hut with an archer patrolling on the roof, is not locked at all. There is a smaller hut next to the barracks, and the door to this hut should open if you use your lockpicks on it. An explosive barrel should be the most memorable object you find in there.

Thanks guys, when I get home later I will upload my save file and hopefully someone can take a look. I really hope I'm not just being incredibly dense

So... I just got home and tried opening the gate without a key. Opened right up. Wow, that's... Well ok.
