This is happening because kojid is authenticating as a user that is not 
associated with a build host (or perhaps not authenticating at all). You 
can't run kojid as a regular user (or anonymously). The hub is trying to 
determine which host is calling the function and is not finding one. 
Certain calls can only be executed by build hosts.

When you created the host entry (koji add-host ...), an associated user 
was created with the same name. This is the user that kojid should 
authenticate as.

And just to clarify, the users I'm talking about are the ones internal 
to koji, not the system users.
