Hi Gerald, Carson Gaspar, a fellow I found through the ipmitool mailing list, was able to determine what the problem was with the IBM eServer325. I was able to test a patched version of 'ipmipower' and it worked.
Short story. there is a flag called "per msg authentication" in the beginning of IPMI protocol. The flag, to some degree, directs how later IPMI packets should be generated. The IBM eServer sets the flag but later in the protocol assumes it isn't set. I'm not entirely sure of the best way to deal with this right now. This is the first vendor workaround that I'll have to do the opposite of what the protocol tells me to do. I'm thinking of a "--ibmeserver325" option.
