CI + HMVC Routing Issue

[eluser]jtkendall[/eluser]
Though i found a workaround, I'd love to know what's wrong so I can undo the workaround and make this system modular again.

My routes are simple. I only have two defined because the others are linked directly.

Code:

$route['pages/(:num)']        = 'pages/index/$1';
$route['users']            = 'user_manager/management';
