Two problems:

- the tag is "TASK" and your custom agenda command looks for "Task":
  beware of the case

- '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "Admin") is looking for an
  actual occurrence of the string "Admin" in the subtree -- and there 
  is no such occurrence in your .org example.

I suggest you use the CATEGORY property like this:

,----
| #+FILETAGS: ADMIN
| 
| * Tasks [5/6] 							    :Task:
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :CATEGORY: Admin
|   :END:
|   
| ** TODO Drop off Stuff
| ** DONE F'up on other stuff
`----

With this file, your agenda custom command works.

No, 'notregexp will go after actual text in the subtree, not inherited
properties.  If you look for properties, try org-entry-get instead in a 
org-agenda-skip-function instead.

Hope you feel better :)
