Eureka! Finally figured it out.
The main problem was that the admin.py module wasn't actually being
executed. And, as Josh noted, the models.py mode wasn't necessary.
Once I put admin.py where it should be the code just needed a couple more
tweaks to get it working perfectly.
I knew it was going to be something pretty dumb! :D
