You need a job_key only when you have started your worker with a
job_key using new_worker method. Otherwise, you don't need any
job_keys at all.
Also, upgrade to latest svn trunk and see if your problem goes away.
There will be an error if you invoke ask_work on a bogus worker and I
thought that behavior is correct.
