Um, no. I have no idea what a SymLink is. I'm really just lurking on this list with the occasional comment/question as I am not a developer in any sense of the word. I know just enough hacks to get myself into trouble, to be honest. 

There is only one private folder (it does have subfolders for downloads) and I just put the second WP install in that directory. The entire install directory is protected and is fed via iframe (I tried to find a more elegant solution but nothing worked and I had to limit the number of hours I was putting into this) to the main install. It's only 3 pages in the entire private install but there are many files linked from those 3 pages that needed to be private as well. I would have just hand-coded the pages but I was trying to make it so that if someone took over for me that doesn't know coding that they would be able to update the pages.

Now that Justin has updated the plugin so that it adds to instead of overwrites .htaccess in the protected directory, a hack to the Protect Directory plugin file wouldn't be necessary. At the time the script just replaced .htaccess with Dada code, which is obviously a problem if other scripts (like WP) are writing to the file as well. 

But I still had to install the second WP installation if I wanted to use the Dada protect directories plugin to protect WP pages because it avoids the account sync issues. There is just no way that I would be knowledgeable enough to hook Dada profiles to WP users so that a single session logs you into both - way beyond my skillset. (Also, not sure if it matters, but this particular install is on a shared server so I don't have the same flexibility that I have on my server.)

One other question, did you try putting all the private file folders under a common directory and sym-linking it into the wordpress directory.  Then there may not have been a need to hack the DaDa core and install another wordpress, assuming apache allows FollowSymLinks and/or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch to be overridden.
