These are cisco devices, most of which have not been upgraded or rebooted in years. So I went through the normal debugging procedures that I know about. clogin works, rancid with debug "HIT"s all of the commands, but when I run it via "rancid-run -r <device>" it does not work.

What version of rancid are you using?

The main point of departure in your results is that one uses router.db,
the other does not. I would start by verifying that router.db entries
for those problem devices are OK.
