ekeyd doesn't seem to recognize key

I recently received my first entropy key to test in some of our systems.
At the moment I can't see to get ekeyd to recognize that the key is
there as ekeydctl won't list it.  System is RHEL 5.6 x86_64 running on
HP ProLiant BL465c G7.  Using the default config file.  It previously
worked fine in another machine, I even tried moving keyring from the
other machine.  Details follow...  Does anyone have any suggestions?
