I have not tried with a space in the name. If it still doesn't work with

As believe you can (should?) drop this line.

I never get it working using the s: syntax.
It works perfectly for me with the following syntax:

I have the airport base station configured to 128bits encryption.
Are you sure you have the good HEXKEY. It took me a few minutes to find
it in the MacOS-X config tool.
