SOLVED: As it turns out, admin demands you have an entry in the local User table even if, as is the case with us, you've implemented a different auth system, don't user any of the local auth tables and have defined AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py. Our backend will now create a record in the local User table dynamically and now creating records within the admin system works. Things in Django still a little too tightly bound. Will investigate further, however, as perhaps there's something we should be doing in our own auth system that would circumvent the entire issue. Anyone with any experience in this area feel free to comment.
