Hi Steve,

This problem happens because the hcid returns the stored link key.
It is basically the same problem that I reported in the item 6 of
BlueZ TODO list:
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/TODO

Just remove the stored link key and pair it again.

$dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez
/org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.RemoveBonding
string:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

or

remove the remote device entry from the file=>
/var/lib/bluetooth/aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff/linkkeys


BR,
Claudio.
