Authentication issues

[Wolf, Mark W.]

Fellow Cfengine users and guru's

I am in the process of setting up cfengine and I am running into
authentication issues.....
The first time I ran cfagent on the client (raptor) the public key for
the server was copied to the client and the public key for the client
copied to the server....I thought I was home free........

The next time I ran cfagent (cfagent -vq -K) on the client, I received
this error. 

>Checking copy from staggerwing:/var/cfengine/dist/etc/motd to /etc/motd
>Connect to staggerwing = 10.10.9.179 on port 5308

Did you forget >the domain name or IP/DNS address registration (for ipv4
or ipv6)?

Which host is failing authentication? 
And what is this trying to tell me..... "Did you forget >the domain name
or IP/DNS address registration..."

The domain is defined and the server is registered in DNS. 

What am I missing?
