Corrected entry: CLU's plan was to lure Sam into the Grid to A) Open the portal to the outside world and B) Lure Kevin Flynn from hiding. So how is it that CLU wasn't aware that Sam had arrived until Rinzler hurt him and discovered that he was a User? The moment Sam came to the Grid, the portal would have activated, which would have been a sure sign of his arrival. And considering that the only place that Sam could arrive was at the Flynn's Arcade within the Grid, shouldn't CLU have set up guards to wait for Sam's arrival and capture him immediately?

Correction: We have no evidence that CLU wasn't aware that Sam was in the Grid. We see him watching Sam play Disk Wars, but he never acts surprised. He asks Sam to identify himself for the sake of appearances. And there were guards waiting outside the arcade to pick up Sam. That's why the Recognizer was there.
