also here is the corresponding error message in the rhn_server_xmlrpc.log

Scientific Linux 6.2
"
2012/03/14 10:00:54 -04:00 25101 <CLIENT IP>:
server/rhnChannel.guess_channels_for_server('ERROR', 'No available
channels for (server, org)', (1000010011, 1), '6.2', 'x86_64')
"
RHEL6
"
2012/03/13 14:38:02 -04:00 27545 <CLIENT IP>:
server/rhnChannel.guess_channels_for_server('ERROR', 'No available
channels for (server, org)', (1000010009, 1), '6Server', 'x86_64')
"

note if i remove the reactivation key and just use the standard key
with the rhnreg_ks command it registers correctly to the appropriate
base channels.
