Well, that's an easy one: remove the passphrase from the file. :-) Of 
course, it removes a layer of security, but if your system security and 
file permissions are set properly, it shouldn't be anything to lose 
sleep over. (I'm sure you lose more sleep when the server goes down in 
the middle of the night and you have to reboot it and enter the passphrase.)

I'll examine your conf files when I get a chance, but Judd had a good 
idea as well---check your error.log for anything obvious and report back 
if you find something suspicious.
