Sounds like you need to encode your URL to go back to the portal.
This is a basic rule for all portlet interaction.
See the Jetspeed tag libs (template.tld) for properly encoding refs 
back to the portal
There are plenty of examples under webapp/WEB-INF/templates/jsp

An alternative to this is to use the IFrame portlet. Makes for very 
easy integration of existing code without having to code your JSPs as 
portlets
But beware IFrames dont work on all browsers
