Please see Emacs bug#19074: Bug in auth-source.el's search of OS X
Keychain at 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-11/msg00805.html

There's a patch there which I haven't been able to test.  If you could,
please try it and let me know your experience (in the bug thread or
here).  You will have to pre-create your security tokens in the Mac
OS X, since creating them through auth-source.el is not supported yet.

Thanks
Ted
