CTAN TeX Live does not adjust the PATH.

More detail would be helpful.  Did you install both TL versions
directly from CTAN or
did you use something like:

<http://alexkrispin.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/a-script-to-automate-the-installation-of-texlive-2010/>

What is "administrator"?   Normally in Ubuntu installs are done by a user
with "admin" privileges using "sudo", in which case the PATH settings in the
alexkrispin script go into ~/.profile.

Did you check /etc/profile.d/*.sh?  Is bash your shell?
