Hi Kelly! You don't need the syncdb command with app-engine-patch, since unlike mysql, the necessary datastore "tables" will be created on the fly. I haven't really used the admin in app-engine-patch myself yet, but I have seen it work in the sample project that is provided with app-engine-patch. To use the admin, however, you must use the repository version of app-engine-patch, the latest release doesn't yet include the admin. When you click the "Source" tab on the project page, you will find a link to the different Mercurial repositories that app-engine-patch uses.
http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/wiki/GettingTheSource?tm=4 You will probably want to check out the sample project. You can either install a Mercurial client and clone the repository, or can use the download-option that bitbucket provides. Be aware, however, that you are using a version that is under constant development now, so things might break when introducing new features, or some things may be incomplete.
