Blocks are set per theme. Since you are using a copy of Garland for your main 
theme and Garland for your admin theme, it would be easy to accidentally set 
the blocks for the wrong theme. I would go back and verify the blocks are set 
for the correct theme. Also, you might clear your caches (using the devel 
module at http://drupal.org/project/devel) to make sure that isn't causing 
the problem.
