prelude-admin / prelude-manager setup insanity

I have been pulling my hair out for several days now trying to figure out 
how to mate the prelude-manager with prelude-admin. I can't find 
documentation on this critical process anywhere (the prelude online docs on 
the wiki are *terrible*, disorganized, and very hard to follow).

Can anyone walk me through this? I've got all of the core prelude stuff 
setup to run on the same machine, but I can't get prelude-manager to startup 
without errors like this:

$ /opt/prelude/bin/prelude-manager

decoding plugins.

13 Nov 22:09:36 (process:2818) WARNING:
Profile 'prelude-manager' does not exist. In order to create it, please run:
prelude-admin add "prelude-manager" --uid 0 --gid 0

I've run the prelude-admin add command over and over again, in every 
combination of user accounts and command line settings that I can come up 
with. I've registered it under the "prelude" account and as root with no 
success. I even tried registering with the uid/gid of the prelude user while 
logged in as root and vice versa.

Does anyone have a complete, easy-to-follow guide for getting this mess 
started up? I think I'll be good for the rest of the process if I could only 
get prelude-manager working...

Thanks!
