Simon, Thanks for the quick response however, the object is a session scoped managed bean. So it would still be available.
When I changed the code to manageAdminAobject.bobjectList[0].eobject.value the code worked, however when I tried to set up the varStatus's index to replace the hard coded 0 it failed.

But that on postback your bobject list contains uninitialised objects. Primitive values on it will be reassigned from the posted data so maybe you didn't notice. Is your manageAdminAobject in request scope? I have not heard of any EL bug that correctly resolves expressions during render phase, but fails during postback phase.
