Maybe you should remove the .service file you added manually. Bug 525642 is fixed now, and manual tweaks like that can lead to problems. It's possible that gnome-keyring is started via D-Bus before the PAM module loads it, so it lacks the --login option that automatically unlocks the keyring. But

That's because Samba and NFS no longer use SysV boot script, but Upstart jobs. Thus, they are not detected even if they are installed. We need a temporary fix in Lucid for that, possibly a ugly hack. In the long term, though, that's going to be a problem: we need minimal support for Upstart jobs,
