The confusion arises from the fact the the App Store remembers your previous login. Because you started the download without changing the login details, your daughter's copy of Mountain Lion is forever linked to your account. Fortunately, for future purchases, you still have the option of signing in with her account before buying anything more. This change will be remembered in future logins until it is changed again. Armed with this knowledge, you should have no trouble with downloading Mavericks for her when it is released (perhaps as as soon as Wednesday!)...
