Is t possible that you're running systemd or have libpam-systemd
installed?  piotr and i found a bug with systemd's pam module that
triggers a failure on session termination, which would cause an error in
monkeysphere-authentication (which uses su to drop privileges and bails
out if there is an error):

 http://bugs.debian.org/599731

If you don't have libpam-systemd installed on the system in question,
can you show me the output of the following command (as root):

 bash -x /usr/share/monkeysphere/transitions/0.23

This command should be idempotent (safe to run multiple times), and it
should exit with a return code of 0.

Thanks,
