The gnome-keyring versions are pretty old. But I'll see what I can do.

Modern versions of gnome-keyring-daemon in the foreground like so:

$ gnome-keyring-daemon --foreground --replace

But I think in your version, the '--replace' argument won't exist. So 
what you need to do is kill all the gnome-keyring-daemon processes, and 
then run:

$ gnome-keyring-daemon --foreground

Then copy and paste the environment variables that are printed out into 
a new terminal window, and run your scripts from that terminal so they 
use that gnome-keyring-daemon running in the foreground.

Then we can see what it says. This may involve some back and forth. If 
you want quicker help you can join us on #keyring on gimp.net IRC, I can 
try and help you there when I'm around.

Cheers,
