It's hard to say what's going on here without looking into it in a lot more detail.  However, I will say that you shouldn't need to include the RunAtLoad or KeepAlive (or the legacy OnDemand) keys in your plist; launchd defaults to on-demand launching.

If you want to see a working example of this, you can look at the following:

o EvenBetterAuthorizationSample

o BetterAuthorizationSample

<https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/samplecode/BetterAuthorizationSample/>

If you still can't figure it out, you should open a DTS tech support incident and I'll look at it in depth.
