I seem to be getting the same problem as Roland-ST, in that after following Lobo's instructions for adding a link to edit an Organization-based profile to the Dashboard, the link ends up redirecting you to the homepage.

Nor does it appear to relate to issue CRM-6754, as the relationship is clearly there (it's doesn't disappear as indicated in the description of that issue).

And, likewise, if I add /administrator to the beginning of the URL, I can preview the profile through Joomla's admin.

I'm using CiviCRM 3.1.5 on Joomla 1.5.8

Old topic but resurfacing it in hopes someone got through it - experiencing the same issue with Joomla 2.5.6 / Civi 4.1.3. 

Lobo's suggested change to the Edit Relationship link causes a redirect to the homepage.  When I go back to my own dashboard after the redirect, I get the "You do not have permission to edit this contact record. Contact the site administrator if you need assistance." message.

Like the others, it works when adding /administrator to the URL. 

Here's how I fixed this - no doubt other, possibly cleaner ways, but this works for me.

Step 1:
Create an override copy of CRM/Contact/BAO/Relationship.php.  Around line 976 (Civi 4.1.3) in the getRelationship function, after the link variable replacement array definition, add a call to generate the checksum.  This expects the checksum to be referenced via the variable 'cs', and only generates the checksum when the permissionedContact function parameter is TRUE.  This is a half-hearted attempt at limiting the checksum generation; I'm sure it'll still be called unnecessarily.

  static
  function getRelationship($contactId = NULL,
...
        if ($links) {
          $replace = array(
            'id' => $rid,
            'rtype' => $values[$rid]['rtype'],
            'cid' => $contactId,
            'cbid' => $values[$rid]['cid'],
            'caseid' => $values[$rid]['case_id'],
            'clientid' => $contactId,
          );
// new code below
          if($permissionedContact) {
            require_once 'CRM/Contact/BAO/Contact/Utils.php';
            $replace['cs'] = CRM_Contact_BAO_Contact_Utils::generateChecksum($values[$rid]['cid']);
          }
...

Step 2:
Create an override copy of CRM/Contact/Page/View/UserDashBoard.php.  In the links() function, modify the URL to be a profile edit, and the Update action to add the checksum to the query string:

  static
  function &links() {
 ...
      self::$_links = array(
        CRM_Core_Action::UPDATE => array(
          'title' => ts('Edit Relationship'),
          'name' => ts('Edit Contact Information'),
          //'url' => 'civicrm/contact/relatedcontact',
          //'qs' => 'action=update&reset=1&cid=%%cbid%%&rcid=%%cid%%',
          'url' =>  'civicrm/profile/edit',
          'qs' => 'reset=1&gid=1&id=%%cbid%%&rcid=%%cid%%&cs=%%cs%%',
        ),
...
