I guess(!) that you will need to run both a system and a session
dbus daemon on the machine you're trying to use gnome-keyring on,
even if you're not running X11.

Depending on your system, there should be an init script called
"dbus", "dbus-system" or something like that that runs dbus-daemon
with the --system argument.

Once the system daemon is running, you may also need to launch a
session dbus-daemon (--session). This can be done in a number of ways,
one of which is running the command:

        eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`

in the shell you are using on the machine you're trying to use
gnome-keyring on. See the dbus-launch man page for more options.

Hope this helps,
Stefan
