I think it is for different reasons than why the enemy cannot enter.

you passed through the hidden land, but it seems that you little understood its power. If men have dealings with the mistress of magic who dwells in the golden wood, then they may look for strange things to follow. For it is perilous for mortal man to walk out of the world of this sun, and few of old came thence unchanged, 'tis said.

The *good* people were afraid of going into lorien because of its history and its effect on their psyche. It was not the same power that kept out the enemy, it was the fear of what has happened in the past. Since the time of the last alliance, the Edain and the eldar have been put asunder of each other. and also since the downfall of moria and the ending of friendship between the dwarves and the elves, there has been little communication with lorien and the outside world. (besides rivendell and possibly the woodland realm?) With the instances of the past, and the rumors and stories (mostly contrived by people such as wormtongue and other evil hearted servants)people choose to stay away and take no chances. think, if a chick that has been alive for over 2000 years can repel armies, then why would you and your friends go skipping into Laurelindorenan singing tra-la-la.
