ok, try adding some debug info inside server.c:server_cryptkey(), and see 
if it actually tries both password servers, ok?

like this:

@server.c some_context_diff_stuff:-)

  standard_sub_basic(desthost);
  strupper(desthost);

+ DEBUG(4,("server_cryptkey: attempt connection to password server %s\n",
		desthost));

  dest_ip = *interpret_addr2(desthost);
