So I do this:
echo pin | bluez-simple-agent hci0 baddress
and get:
Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed: Authentication Failed

The address and pin are correct. 

Anyway I presume the gui method probably worked ok because when I
first added the device it said it was successful. I guess the gnome
bluetooth stuff is smart enough to handle the reconnecting of the
devices on reboots? 

Thanks for your help.
