Online, but appears offline

I am using Psi, connected through my host's Jabber server. 
When I chat 
with someone on Gmail Talk, which like Jabber is XMPP, she
sees my 
status as being offline and unable to take messages.  But my
client sees 
me as "online," or even "available to
chat."  Is this an XMPP 
compatibility issue, or a Psi issue, or a gmail Talk issue?

Typically, this is a problem of subscription synchronization
between
your "roster" (buddy list) on your server and her
roster on GTalk. That
is, your roster thinks you are subscribed but her roster
thinks you are not.

In any case it is not a Psi issue or an XMPP compatibility
issue.

Are you able to exchange messages? Or is presence the only
problem?

We can exchange messages just fine.  Presence is the only
problem, 
technically speaking; however, the effect is that only I can
initiate 
message exchanges, because she never has awareness of my
presence.

Yes, that's a classic case of subscriptions being out of
sync. What
client do you use? Does it enable you to "re-request
authorization" or
somesuch? I know Psi has that feature...
