Hi, This bug sounds familiar, from back in the days when Django's admin started migrating to named URLs in the admin.
The regex you've got for the admin page is the source of the problem. What you've got is a weird hybrid between the old style: (r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root), and the new style: (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), If you drop the (.*) portion from your admin pattern, that should fix the problem.
