Family Sharing results in "Redownload Unavailable with This Apple ID"

I recently converted from having my Apple ID on all of our 5 devices, to setting up separate accounts. I just got a new iPhone 6 for my wife tonight. I didn't restore form backup, because she wanted to start fresh, and not have every App on the phone. So when I started downloading Apps, I got and in setting it up, I started downloading Apps and after installing 10 Apps, I got the following error message:

Redownload Unavailable with This Apple ID

This redownload is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

Anyone else having this issue?

Come on Apple. Seriously?

iPhone 6, iOS 8, 64 GB, Space Gray

Go to settings, go to iTunes and App Store, Go to Apple ID. Sign out and Sign in again with Apple ID. It's probably stuck in the old email. Let me know if it helps

Thank You! Hiding the app and then signing out of both accounts and then signing back in worked. You saved my sanity. 🙂
