How to create UserAlbum controller link in J! module

I would like to put a link on my Joomla home page that brings the user to their album to upload photos.

If the user album has been created, I have a URL that goes to the Add Items page of the user's album.

If the user album has not been created, I am trying to generate a link to the useralbum.UserAlbum controller, but I keep getting Athorization failures, because I suspect I am not getting the session authtoken set up properly.

I am using the code:

$text = $urlGenerator->generateUrl(array('controller'=>'useralbum.UserAlbum'),
						array(	'forceFullUrl'=>true,
							'forceSessionId'=>false,  // Also tried true, but no luck
							'htmlEntities'=>false ) );

Thanks,
Patrick
