auth failures

Hi Frank,

This was because of new authorisation scheme, from
rps-auth (RFC2725). According to this, when creating an
aut-num object, an as-block object must exist with a range
which includes the aut-num to-be-created, and the creation must
be authorised by the maintainer mentioned in the "mnt-lower"
attribute of that as-block.

In this case, an as-block object which includes AS1270
didn't exist in our test DB, and your creation request denied.

Now, we have created "as-block:   AS1200 - AS1300" with
a "mnt-lower:  AS-BLOCK-MNT" attribute, the auth of AS-BLOCK-MNT
being NONE. So, you must be able create AS1270 now.
