oh, ok, this makes sense. I still don't quite understand the ACL plugin and
have been hacking the acl file by hand from the get-go. The problem, as I
see it now, is that my students were registering with names like "john_doe"
and then I was enbling specific namespaces for them with the same handle.
Thanks!

Do you edit the ACL by hand? User and group names in the ACL can't have
special characters like ' ' or '_' among others. They need to be encoded
like URLs: "john%20doe" instead of "john doe". The ACL plugin is
supposed to do this for you, if it's not then something is broken.
I stumbled over this when I was hacking the ACL handler in my repo. I
don't know if Andi is interested, but I parse the ACL file into a nested
array at startup, then use just a single grep over the array to find all
relevant ACL entries for a page ID. I don't know if it's better in any
way, I was just experimenting. The grep pattern may be of interest: It
comes out looking like /((\*|ns1):((\*|ns2):)?)?\*/ for however long the
path is.
