sure... let me get you a trace. Are there any specific flags I should set
in strace?
Also... when I request a cert using caServerCert and approve it in DogTag,
the certmonger request sits in CA_WORKING status for a while. How long can
I expect it to stay that way?
I've always been impatient and done a *getcert refresh *on the request to
force a download but is there a configurable poll interval or anything? I
didn't see anything obvious in the docs.

Well, it shouldn't be dying at least. If you can get a coredump or a
backtrace out of it, that'll help track it down. I'm not really sure
how the use (or not) of the -T flag with the helper could be affecting
that, though, as when I tried obtaining a certificate using it and the
caServerCert profile, it succeeded.
I got an authentication error attempting to specify the
caAgentServerCert profile, which makes some sense since the helper
submits the request using using the end-entity services interface and
only uses the agent creds when it goes back to approve it using the
agent services interface.

The helper hard-codes a default of "caServerCert" if the flag isn't
used, and that looks like a pretty normal delay-and-state-cookie output
value to me, so a backtrace would be really helpful in diagnosing what's
happening when you try it.
HTH,
