I think this is a UI problem, meaning that Administration link in the
upper right corner always goes to global administration and not to
space administration. Try
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/admin/XYZSpace/WebPreferences?editor=spacerights&global=1&space=XYZSpace
for example (simply change /XWiki/XWikiPreferences in
/XYZSpace/WebPreferences), are you able to edit rights ?
