I still don't know for sure, as I don't have the time to investigate,
but I think there are some problems with the security interface, making
security too tight. It just doesn't work as expected.

Try this: Create your Role and user in the top-level acl_users folder.
Then give that Role permission to view management screens either on the
top-level folder or on your own product.
