Hi Keith, Is this an item that has been archived already? Typically, the ability to edit items once they're archived is managed by a set of permissions inherited from the owning communities/collections rather than who submitted it. Even if the previous submitter did happen to have edit privileges, updating the submitter_id won't automatically change the existing authorization policies for that item. The easiest way to ensure that the new user can edit the item is to edit it yourself, and inspect the current authorization policies - you should see which groups have various rights, and from there you could add a new eperson or group to the appropriate policy.
Hope this helps! Let me know if I've misunderstood the intention here.
