Just to tell that I also also am affected by this bug, and I noticed something:

- I configured my account in "users-admin" (System -> Administration -> Users and Groups) in such way that my user session can be started without my password to be entered manually.

- When I log in with this setting, then I open Seahorse (Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys), I get the same problem Mitch Towner ran in: Seahorse "couldn't communicate with key ring daemon". Ubuntu One doesn't work. I have to start "gnome-keyring-daemon" manually, then Seahorse can communicate with my key ring daemon, and Ubuntu One works again.

- Now, in "users-admin", I configure my user account to force my password to be entered for my user session to be started. I log out. I log in again, enter my account password in GDM, my session starts.

- In Seahorse, I don't have any error (Seahorse can communicate with my key ring daemon), and Ubuntu One works properly.

So, maybe Mitch Towner is in the same situation? Could this problem appear when a user can log in without a password?

If you need more information, logs, command outputs, etc., I'd be glad to send them.
