No, their function is not to stop you from entering the passages. They will 
let you through all right. The problem is that once you've entered a 
passage, there is no way back (for some reason) so you have to choose the 
right one the first time. The function of the guards is to give you 
information which you may use to figure out which passage to choose.

Oh, and if you're not familiar with the original riddle:

There are two passages of which you must choose one. One of them leads to 
freedom, the other one to doom. Once you have chosen one, you are stuck with 
it. In front of each passage is a guards. One guard always tell the truth 
and one always lies. You don't know which does what. Now you must find out 
which passage to choose by asking the guards questions...
