Restrict Access Not working

Question

I have 3 folders - Admin, Private, Public
I have 3 values for Permissions 1=Admin, 2=Private, 3=Public
I have an automatic redirect when a user logins in
ie. a privater user logins in and is redirected to /private/index.php
Which works great, now i placed a restrict access folder behavior to the private folder and only selected 2 for the permission (private access). Now when the private user logins in and is redirected to /private/index.php it says access denied please login.
Why is it not allowing that person to get to that page. Ive checked the /private/index.php page and it says:
//Start Restrict Access To Page
$restrict = new tNG_RestrictAccess($conn_portersonline, "../../");
//Grand Levels: Level
$restrict->addLevel("1");
$restrict->addLevel("2");
$restrict->Execute();
Anybody have any ideas???
