That did seem to work, reverting the server agents back to 2.7.1 & 
rebuilding the agents/keys on the manager (just as an assurance).  Now I'm 
getting all success & failure events as I should be.  Wohoo!!  To recap for 
anyone in the future:

1) Removed agents "newer" than the management console.
2) Installed matching version agents back to systems.
3) Destroyed old agents in management console.
4) Recreated the agents in management console & provided new keys to the 
refreshed agents.
5) Started agents.
6) Restarted management console.
7) Win!

  I appreciate you guys.  I was starting to think I'd done something overly 
crazy.  I'll keep updates here on this as I continue to see success on the 
events.  Thanks again!
