i was banging my head today after cfengine upgrade to 2.0.7p3 with the
similar problem, my cfservd.conf was something like:

control:

        AllowConnectionsFrom            =       ( masterhost )
        AllMultipleConnectionsFrom      =       ( masterhost )
        AllowUsers                      =       ( root )
        domain                          =       ( domain )
        cfrunCommand                    =       (
"/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent" )

grant:

        /var/cfengine/masterfiles/inputs   somehosts
        $(cfrunCommand)        masterhost

and it was failing with "host authentication" error. so with some dumb luck
i changed it to:

control:

        AllowConnectionsFrom            =       ( masterhost )
        AllMultipleConnectionsFrom      =       ( masterhost )
        AllowUsers                      =       ( root )
        domain                          =       ( domain )
grant:

        /var/cfengine/masterfiles/inputs   somehosts
        /var/cfengine/bin/cfagent    masterhost

and everything is working fine now. i don't know if it is a bug, feature or
just bad day :)

regards,
