I have a question regarding certificate management. Do you have to be a local admin on a Windows XP box to import an external certificate? Also, along those same lines is once it is imported do you have to be an admin to export it to take with you to another machine?

Depends on the use of the certificate, if only a specific user needs to use the certificate you dont need admin rights to import/export the certificate, computer certificates however always need to be imported using a useraccount with administrative rights.
