I've tried all kinds of permissions from 777 on down with no luck.
It's very strange. However, I Wasn't able to change the line as easy
as that-- when I set the string to "" I got the text <portal> instead
of the nothing I expected :)
Perhaps I'm not understanding the interaction between the Language.php
file and the Special:Allmessages links. If I set the portal to "" in
the Language file, nothing happened. If I then set MediaWiki:Portal
(or whatever it's called-- I can't look right now) to nothing I would
get "<portal>"-- or I could leave the Language.php file alone and
rename the MediaWiki:Portal to anything I wanted and that would work--
except if I made it blank, the link was still there saying "Community
Portal"
Quite vexing!

I thought I would get tricky and strip the lines

Hm, have you accidentally changed the file's permission bits?
Otherwise, I've no idea.
But I wanted to point out that, once you get the template working
again, there's an easier way to do this anyway: setting the name of
the portal link to be empty [""] should hide it completely. I'm afraid
I don't have a 1.3 install working to play with, but although
languages/Language.php suggests you do it there, I suspect you
actually need to do it in the database by blanking the
[[MediaWiki:Portal]] article in the wiki.
