Admin rights don't affect users of the OPAC. One is either a valid
logged-in patron or not. Logged-in "superlibrarian" patrons, for
instance, don't gain any additional privileges in the OPAC.

It sounds to me like something in your setup is limiting the number of
holds possible. I'm not sure about your version.... Do you have a
"maxreserves" setting in system preferences? Do you have a "holds
allowed" option under Administration -> Circulation and fines rules?
