What version of Tiki are you using? The most recent versions are more sensitive to permissions in lists of forums, galleries, etc.

Set the admin forum's permissions to allow reading only by the groups you want to access it. In Tiki 1.9.0 or 1.9.1 (I'm not sure about 1.8+) the forum won't show up in the forum list for users who don't have permission to read it.

If you use "latest forum posts" module, etc., you should do a test to see if posts from the admin forum are visible to regular users. I don't know if the modules respect the permissions or not.
