Aaron - 

Are you passing AUTHENTICATED_USER as an argument to the 
query that is working (and not doing so on this one?) 
Remember that SQL methods don't automagically get the 
same namespace that DTML does - the only things it can 
use are attributes that are named in the arguments list
(this is to prevent names that are coincidentally the 
same in a REQUEST form or something from being inserted 
into queries).

One common way of doing what you want is to add REQUEST 
to the arguments list of the SQLMethod and use:

<dtml-with REQUEST>
<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Manager',this())">
select * from data
</dtml-if>
</dtml-with>
