To debug this sort of problem, I always revert to doing each step by hand.

In one terminal, I start the daemon:

wpa_supplicant -W -ddd -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.ath0.pid -i ath0 -c 
/var/run/wpa_supplicant -D wext

In another terminal, I attach a wpa_cli console:

wpa_cli -p /var/run/wpa_supplicant -i ath0

Then in the wpa_cli console, emulate the script by plugging in the 
required network parameters:

 > add_network
0
 > set_network 0 ssid "kelnet"
OK
 > set_network 0 key_mgmt WPA-PSK
OK
 > set_network 0 proto RSN
OK
 > set_network 0 pairwise CCMP
OK
 > set_network 0 group CCMP
OK
 > set_network 0 psk 
06b4be19da289f475aa46a33cb793029d4ab3db7a23ee92382eb0106c72ac7bb
OK
 > enable_network 0
OK
 > <2>Trying to associate with 00:13:10:41:7e:1f (SSID='kelnet' 
freq=2422 MHz)

Thanks, Kel.
