So we're a little confused about the Damage Reduction rules.
DR/adamantine takes either an adamantine weapon or a +4 weapon to overcome, right?.
+3 for cold iron/silver etc.
But what about DR/-.. A character just picked up an adamantine armor with DR/- of 3.. So no matter how awesome a weapon it counts according to the rules? Not even a +7 Longsword of Holy Awesome Goodness can negate that damage reduction? Or am I misreading something and even a +1 weapon negates a DR/- stat?

Nope, your first thought is right. Nothing overcomes DR/-. There's lots of things that can ignore it (spells / energy damage is the big one, but there's also class abilities which let you ignore DR), but nothing will overcome it.

Like an angry Paladin! (assuming the DR/-- is possessed by an evil creature)!
Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
