Hi Mark,
I'll try to answer but it's been a while since I looked at this
functionality, so sorry if I make a mistake.

The thing with current (1.6 - 1.8) embargo implementation is that you
must write one or two pieces of java code - the embargo setter and
lifter. However, there's an improvement to embargo scheduled for
inclusion in 3.0 that removes the need to run embargo lifter because
it encodes the embargo term directly into the authorization policy.
You can find the details here:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/43

I'm not sure at the moment if you can have embargo for one group of
users, but ignore it for another (I don't think so), but of course
administrators will be able to access the items regardless of embargo
terms.

That's not true, you can change it at any time using embargo setter.
Where did you read it so that I may correct it?

Yes, it can, with the possible exception of bypassing embargo for a
specified group of users.
