Because you're being mapped into your Plone folder and not the site 
root. It's the same as saying http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder/manage

I don't know why http://OurSite.com/plone works, unless you actually 
meant http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder (in which case acquisition is 
allowing the equivalent of http://OurSite.com/ploneFolder/ploneFolder to 
work right) or you have some other object called 'plone'.

Using the port like that goes direct to ZServer and skips the rewrite. 
As such, http://OurSite.com:8080/manage actually means 'manage' at the root.

One thing you may do is create a subdomain that maps to the root rather 
than a subfolder, so that http://manage.OurSite.com/ would give you the 
root, and http://manage.OurSite.com/manage would be 'manage' on root.
