[Zope] UserFolder problem

Hi All, hope you can help...  I have a problem trying to use the 
LDAPUserFolder product.  Basically I have a site named www.myname.com, 
and the site is Plone powered.  I have a normal UserFolder at the top 
level folder which holds the members who have manager roles etc.  On the 
site I have a folder called "Staff" and a folder called students.

Now for LDAP.  I have an Ldap server which has a tree called Business, 
then under the tree are two more subfolders (called staff and student).  
I need to get the staff folder of the site authenticating against the 
staff tree in LDAP.  So I go into the staff folder, add a LDAPUserFolder 
and set the settings up correctly.  I then navigate to the staff folder 
and make the pages viewable to only members, managers and authenticated 
users.  Thing is, when I try and view the page I am asked to login, but 
it automatically uses the root acl_users folder, and not the one in the 
"staff" folder.

So, the page re-drects you to http://myname.com/login_form which doesnt 
work with the LDAP usernames etc, but I know LDAP is definately working 
because If I point to http://myname.com/staff/login_form it works.

Is there any way of setting which userfolder plone looks at?

Many thanks for your time.
Phil
