Portlet gives ERROR: Content not available and log says FileNotFoundExcepti

Question

I'm trying to deploy my 'works on JBoss' portlets onto portlet server 7.2
I uses psadmin register-portlets... to load my ear file with the portlets
I went into 'Add New Channel or Container' and picked the sandbox and 'channel'
Step 1.1 I picked JSR 168 or 268
Step 2 I could see my portlets in the drop down so I picked one
That seemed to work fine.
Then I went into 'design desktop layout' and I picked my portlet from the list there and put it onto the sandbox
Looking good. There were some odd warning errors in the log referring to JSF which don't look relevant so I ignored them (see below)
Next I logged into sanbox and all I see are two frames (I added two portlets) both saying ERROR: Content not available
In my log I have two identical errors:

Did you forget to reset the value after changing the options? |#]Those don't mean anything to me but they look like the console is complaining about something internal.
Where did I go wrong here? I did not deploy the ear file normally, just ran the psadmin. Do I need to do both? Is there some other step I missed?
Thanks for any help

As you can see from docs - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2052/gdela register-portlet is supported for EAR files generated by JCAPS tools. In you case you need to manually add the portal required artifacts. In case of WAR this is handled by deploy-portlet command. I don't remember exact artifacts that were added in PS7.2 portlet deployment. You can deploy a WAR and see the artifacts that will be added and the entry in web.xml as well.
