I'm a rook too and received the same error.

I re-read the installation instructions here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-official-release

It turns out I had to run "python setup.py install".   I believe this
copies the django-admin.py to a location, or places a path variable,
so it is accessible.
Once i ran the command above, i was able to successfully use "django-
admin.py startproject X"

good luck.
