I had problems with the keychain for several items. What I did was  
create a new keychain and move everything from my old main keychain to  
it. I noticed that certain items _copied_ to the new keychain, but did  
not _move_; they reported that items of the same name were already  
there... which was impossible, this was a new, blank, keychain. These  
items were, of course, the ones which had been giving problems. On  
checking, there were items of the same name in the new keychain, so  
they were definitely present in both places. I made sure that I had a  
good backup from _before_ I started messing with the keychain and  
deleted the keychain containing the problematic items. I also deleted  
several items which did not appear to contain any actual data. I have  
not had any problems since then, but then I only did that on Thursday,  
so it's possible that there will be problems. However, nothing's  
broken yet. You might want to try that and see if it fixes your problem.
