Well, I took some time to dig into this tonight... and was able to fix it.
Here's what the logs said:

Ownership is successfully changed to admin.
I then shut down Photos II, removed it... then reinstalled Photos II v2.0.7 from the "Available Apps" section. Completed the install... and went through the wizard again, AND... creating the Admin user was finally successful!!
Seems like this may be firmware related or something? I'm not sure what set these to root to begin with but it definitely fixed my issue that I was seeing in the screenshots above while trying to create admin user in the Wizard.
Now I will mark this as "Accept as Solution" - thanks for nothing and for not getting back to me Marty.

Excuse me - are you confused? Is it really that hard to see your last followup response on this as it's documented here in black and white. You last said you need to check with others and need to get back to me... then you follow up with some canned response of case closed like you've offered some help?
To in response to your last canned reply... No - not solved and you've offered zero value thus far in this issue. You've had me to uninstall and re-install for no purpose when the application installed successfully as I mentioned in the first post, and subsequent post. When there is something to mark as "Accept As Solution" .. I will do that. Until then, i've been still been in a holding pattern waiting to hear back after you've seen said errors in the log and follow up with others... very confused how you think this has been a solution for me.
