Liz:
I do seem to remember that the room would open out on to different places, 
so a single place couldn't be guarded. I can't remember where it says that, 
but I have a feeling it is when they are talking about how Neville gets the 
room perfect.
This would make finding and watching the room impossible, so it is 
conceivable that the Carrows were told about the room, but could still not 
find it.
