well, i don't remember exactly what happened, but it went something like
this:

i did all the compass room stuff, messed about quite a lot, then came up
against this door problem. I headed back up to the next level, found nothing
and came back. I went to talk to Durlag again and he... well, helped...

it went something like that anyway

That's odd, if you did go the the compass room three times, then Durlag
should say something differently...
If he doesn't, then it's probably a bug, all I can recommend at this point
is to reload a game from before the last compass room and try it again.

Yeah, I know all about "messing around":-( Done it myself and now the fun
is over. I also let Islanne teleport my party back to the surface, after
which I went back down - with no result. Kind of weird though...

Probably yes, but which one and where is the damn stone?
Currently I hold 12 wardstones (just in case):

2 Dwarven Rune Wardstones
2 Teleportation wardstones
1 Level 1 Exit Wardstone
1 Level 2 Exit Wardstone
1 Bone Wardstone
1 Compass Wardstone
1 Forgery Wordstone
1 Kiel Wardstone
1 Fuernebol Wardstone
1 Islanne Wardstone

I'm pretty sure that I've explored the hole area but if a missing wardstone
has been possessed by any kind of monster I may have overlooked it in the
heat of the battle.

Are you sure you've been there three times?
Maybe you can try to return to the compass room at each of the 'entrances'

This realy sucks! I'm keeping a saved game from the start of every new
chapter and a rotation save in 5 slots. So at this point I have 5 saved game
AFTER I've been at the compass room 3 times.

So I guess I'll only have two choices. Replay TOSC or wait for a patch that
will fix this error. I have no intention to replay the game so I'll just
delete the game and wait for Diablo II and M&M VII if I can't get this
problem solved. This game seems to be just a bit to bug'gy for my taste.
Thanks for the resonse though.

I'm absolutely sure! As I pointed out earlier: I went to the compass room
from the throne in the wault and from the bed and by means of the stone
golem and all 3 places are now inactive. I'm convinced that this must be
caused by a bug - maybe due to a incorrect "game status flag".

On Bioware's messageboard for TOSC I've have read something about solving a
similar problems when one are supposed to be transported to the chessgame at
the end of level 3 but can't. This solution could be solved by means of
cheat entries such as:
Console;SetGlobal("SPRITE_IS_DEADAIRASPEC",GLOBAL",1);
I guess a similar solution exist for my problem but what codes do I need to
enter? That's the problem.

Well then, I suggest you e-mail Bioware, or post on their message board,
because using the console is far beyond me
