Mysterious. What causes Aueas to read a file is that it is listed in the
transform of a lens - in the case of the Sshd module that filter lists
exactly /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

If you don't get any error nodes underneath /augeas/files, that means
that Augeas isn't even trying to read sshd_config. The most likely
reasons for that would be that it does't see sshd.aug on its load path
or that it is looking in the wrong root in the filesystem (that's what
my question about AUGEAS_ROOT was about)

You could try to strace 'augtool quit' and see if anything interesting
about sshd_config turns up. Other than that, check what differences
there are between the EL4 and EL5 machines.
