Cant you pass the keyvalues to the client in your message? I know for my mod we have animated plants and items that are on the server side only. For instance when the player touches the animated item, a message is sent to the client tellin it what it is and the inventory/hud info is updated accordingly. I dont know if that pertains to your original question... but anyway... =)
If you really need the keyvalues, when the entity is created send a message to the client. Im tired... im going to bed.
