Matt,

How did you add the domain names to the server?  Or have you yet?
When you add a domain name via CPX you specify the admin at that 
time.  

If you added them manually outside of CPX, then don't fret.  Check
over your vhosts in your httpd.conf and be sure you are happy with
the "User" assignments for each host.  The username specified as
the value for the "User" component of the VirtualHost is presumed
to be the domain admin (only one domain admin per domain).

Now perform the following steps:

  # cp /usr/local/etc/cpx.conf /usr/local/etc/cpx.conf-backup

open the cpx.conf file and remove the <domains> node completely;
save the buffer and exit.  If you didn't make any mods to your 
httpd.conf while verifying your VirtualHost "User" values, then
run the following commands:

  # touch /www/conf/httpd.conf
  # apachectl restart

(You have to do this to invalidate the cache.)

Now log in to CPX (as a server admin); the <domains> node in 
the cpx.conf file will be rebuilt automagically.

hth.

cheers.
