Using this method I was able to create two separate menu's one for 
regular users and one for admin people. It works great. It is very 
deceiving when you have a default installation and the "Main Manu" is 
listed as disabled under blocks. If you enable "Main Menu" in blocks and 
put it in the header you will now have TWO "Main Menu"'s not just one. 
Who would have thought?
