Crescent:
Well, for one thing you needed to know that the room was that 
powerful. Neville discovered it by chance when he was desperate 
and using the room already. Draco might have been desperate, but 
he wasn't in the room or looking for the room when he was thinking 
that so he never asked the room to allow the DE's to enter. For 
all we know, the room may have created a door they could enter 
through but Draco wasn't looking at or for that door and never 
realized what it was when he was fixing the vanishing cabinet.
