I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'report dividing those in the maze' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'those in the house covering-up partition' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'house' could be 'paper' (paper is a kind of house) and 'paper' is found within the answer.
'partition' could be 'wall' (wall is a kind of partition) and 'wall' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.
