Thanks - did that. Actually, originally, I tried to have one activation key for everything, and nothing that I saw warned you against that. I assigned the first one I created to one channel (x86-64), and created another for the i386, and assigned them to the appropriate channels. *Then* I could push packages in. 

But no - what bothers me is the "invalid release and token w/ no base channels". There's no way to specify that with rhnreg_ks, so I figure it's *supposed* to be figuring that out on its own; apparently not.
