Good eyes!  Sorry I let that slip in, but it's not the problem:

su-2.05# ls -l /etc/irrd.conf 
lrwxr-x---  1 root  wheel  24 Apr  8 22:43 /etc/irrd.conf ->
/usr/local/etc/irrd.conf

I seemed to be having trouble convincing the utilities to look in
/usr/local/etc, so I just symlinked it.

Any other guesses?  Is there anything wrong in the alias itself?

Thanks,

--- David
