There seems to be a general problem with adding keys (@s) to the default  
"session" keyring. Adding user type keys (@u) works.

$ keyctl add logon description data @s
does not add anything to the _uid_ses:UID keyring, which is automatically  
created after login.

Interestingly, when a new session keyring is added, then it works:

[root@client ~]# su - zmrzlinka
[zmrzlinka@client ~]$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
1037083570 --alswrv   1001    -1  keyring: _uid_ses.1001
 578017679 --alswrv   1001    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.1001
[zmrzlinka@client ~]$ cifscreds add toillet
