What is the hostowner (authid, contents of /dev/hostowner, users that appears when you 'ls -l '#c') of the cpu server? He needs to have rights to 'speak for' you for this to work. For example, our systems run with the hostowner 'bootes'. On the auth server is the file /lib/ndb/auth with the contents: hostid=bootes uid=!sys uid=!adm uid=* which means that bootes can speak for anyone except sys and adm. You'll need something similar.
