Admin IF for second Downloads module

I have a need to not only restrict access to some download categories to certain groups, but to disallow those categories to be viewed by anybody else. Currently, even if you disable a category, it's still visible.

My thought was to duplicate the Downloads module (call it Staff_Downloads),
create a new set of nsngd tables (*_staff_nsngd_*), create a staff_nsngd_func.php file, and away I go.

Downloads module works as expected, I just enable that module for the staff group, and nobody else can then see it. My problem is that the second admin menu I get for Staff Downloads operates against the original tables.
I've made some edits on $module_name="Staff_Downloads" but it seems that any php?op= (such as DLMain) works against the original tables. (even though I have all the table edits done in the code, and module name is correct, and the paths are correct...etc.

I'm not sure I understand the admin.php?op=DLMain enough to trouble shoot this. What have I missed in order for the admin menu downloads to work against the new staff_nsngd tables?

Thanks in advance.

kdunbar, unfortunately, when there is an admin module, you must also change all the op codes for the second copy. See your Staff_Downloads/admin/case.php file for what I mean. You have to change them in that file as well as in the admin/index.php which passes those op codes in the form actions and URLs.
