WP 3.4.
After enabling Hiding the Back End, the new links work, but the back end is not hidden.
As I mentioned, I installed WP in domain.com/xxx, then changed the user URL to domain.com by changing Settings > Site Address (URL). See http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install for details. Note that this is NOT multisite installation. The admin link remained domain.com/xxx/wp-admin.php, as expected, and the main user page became domain.com.
It looks like the plugin doesn’t get the memo that the locations have changed: published URLs are still in xxx, and plugin is writing to xxx/.htaccess.
When I enable the SEO-friendly permalinks, WP writes to /.htaccess. When I enable “Hide Back End”, the plugin writes to /xxx/.htaccess.
Many kudos for this outstanding plugin!
I have a clue – and another bug. I relocated my user url from domain.com/xxx to domain.com When I tried to hide the back end I was told to enable permalinks, I was given the link domain.com/wp-admin.php, which is a bad link (BUG). I manually corrected to domain.com/xxx/wp-admin.php and selected the default permalink setting. This yields a .htaccess file that has nothing in it but comments. On returning to Hide back end, we go through the same process again. Eventually, I changed the permalinks to SEO-friendly, and now I am seeing good Hide Back End Options.
HTH & Tnx
