Logout issues when bridged to SMF and new password requirements

[sc204]

I have bridged coppermine to SMF and SMF to joomla using the smf login.  It works pretty well, new users are recognized in all three applications.  The main issue I seem to be having is that when you log out through coppermine you are redirected to SMF with the following error message.

[Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again]

You can go back to coppermine and you will still be logged in.

The other issue is now all new passwords are required to be 8 characters long.  I do not see a setting for this.

Coppermine install: http://www.angelsonly.com/flyingeaglesrc2/coppermine/index.php

Known issue when bridging with SMF (search results). As a workaround, remove the logout button from Coppermine's menu.

Thank you for the reply.
For those of you with as little knowledge of php as I have, (and after searching threads and spending 2 hours trying to remove the logout button)
here is the condensed version.  There are probably several ways to do this including copying lines from the sample/themes.php to yourtheme/themes.php and commenting them out which I could not get to work, but this did work.
Get the final_extract plugin.  It is attached to this thread http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=25197.0
unzip it and modify the codebase.php in an editor.  I removed the remove home line and changed remove login to logout.
After changing it looks like this
