O.k. taking Nates mail and running with it I've hit a dead end. Not sure
what I'm doing wrong but here goes.

ns1 == my nameserver 
mybox == my firewall at home on cable modem
Both boxen are redhat-7.3 and have the same bind version

I generated key with following command
dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 128 -n HOST www.dolly-llama.org.

I copy the files generated to my firewall box. My named.conf on my ns
server has the following in it.

key www.dolly-llama.org. {
	algorithm hmac-md5;
	secret "base64fromkeyfile.priv";
};

zone "dolly-llama.org" {
	type master;
	allow-query { any; };
	file "slave/dolly-llama.org.zone";
	update-policy {
		grant www.dolly-llama.org. name www.dolly-llama.org. A
	};
};

I have bind setup chroot()ed and secure so the only place it can write is
slave/ directory. 

Only thing that zone file has in it is the necessary stuff. there is no www
record in it. When I run nsupdate -k /path/to/crazynamedkeyfile and tap tap
tap in all th goodies to add my www host, after the final extra \n I get

dns_request_getresponse: tsig indicates error

and in the logs on the nameserver I see

Jun 4 21:39:25 ns1 named{15528]: client 24.245.5.130#32811: request has
invalid signature: tsig verify failure

Now I ask you, what the heck am I missing?
