Sorry, it actually does appear to be working. I was looking at the status bar and noticed that the URL had not changed there. Tried actually clicking it and guess what happened.

Good thing it was raining anyway because I spent the whole afternoon trying to fix something that wasn't broken

Ok, a little more tweaking but I think the client can take it from here as far as link & category management. In the meantime I'll try the same on another site. I'll bet it's much easier the second time.
