You did not forget to copy and rename files in admin by any chance? The are two sets of files, one in catalog and one in admin.

Aside from changing names of files and classes, you need to change setting and config names. Basically, find and change all references to category with your own, e.g. my_category.

$this->model_setting_setting->editSetting('category', $this->request->post);
...
if (isset($this->request->post['category_module'])) {
        $this->data['modules'] = $this->request->post['category_module'];
    } elseif ($this->config->get('category_module')) { 
        $this->data['modules'] = $this->config->get('category_module');
    }

etc. Also in tpl, change form field names, example:

<select name="category_module[<?php echo $module_row; ?>][layout_id]">

change to:

<select name="my_category_module[<?php echo $module_row; ?>][layout_id]">

This goes for both, admin and catalog files.
