Check for principal name 'moira' vs. 'sms.'  As I recall, there are a couple
places in the code where these are used interchangeably.  This is probably
because after the code had been called sms for a while, they decided to
rename it Moira and some of the code still refers to it the old way.  The
easy fix is to create two princpals: "moira.myserver" and "sms.myserver" with
the same key.
