Hiding tools using *functions.require* will never work, because first you
deny access and than require it. Getting that to work will be a bug and
should be reported as such ;-)

I can think of 2 solutions:

1) Change code, To hide the code in the menu a property could be set in the
page and the portal rendering code could pick up that property in order not
to render the item. This will require changes in the rendering code and will
also introduce some porting issues towards future versions.

2) Use the skin css to hide the tool in the menubar. Each tool has it's own
css class, the next piece of css will at least get rid of the link:

a.icon-sakai-rwiki {
  display: none;
}

This will hide all wiki tool pages, also for the teachers.
