First off, SonataAdminBundle lives in Sonata namespace, not Symfony. So you'll have to rewrite the instantiation in app/AppKernel.php to:

new SonataAdminBundleSonataAdminBundle()

You also have to register namespace in app/autoload.php:

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
...
'Sonata' => __DIR__.'/path/to/parent/of/Sonata/folder'
...
));
