there are a couple of things that could be related to this.  first, it's not 
clear to me whether or not the manager user in question is actually a 
remember-based user.  remember supports having remember- and 
non-remember-based users in the same site, and if you're using a Manager user 
that is defined at the Zope root, instead of one that was created through 
Plone, then chances are it's not a remember user at all.  you can verify this 
by looking in portal_memberdata.  if you see a member object that matches your 
username, then it's remember-based.  if not, then it isn't.

second, the URL of the personalize form varies depending on whether or not the 
user is remember based.  i don't have an installation to check right now, but 
i think that personalize_form will only work for non-remember-based users; 
remember-based users will end up at portal_memberdata/USERNAME/base_edit. 
remember tweaks the Plone interface so that the profile link will always take 
you to the right place for the authenticated member.  the behaviour is 
undefined if you explicitly use the wrong the URL for the current member type.

hopefully this will provide you with some starting points.
