Carl,
Since I am doing on work on your site, I think go ahead and look :)
I got the link added to the subnavbar. I understand the idea of having the admin link to the associated admin portlet inside the community portlet that goes with it. To do that I needed a 1-page standalone admin portlet. That was an easy fix.
Optionally adding an admin portlet to the navbar was also a pretty easy fix and can be set on or off. The only thing we can't do, is allow a user to edit the layout of the admin portal.
