katello-jobs needs to be running after configuring a new deployment of katello.

[root@smoketest ~]# chkconfig --list | grep katello
katello         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off


[root@smoketest ~]# ps -ef | grep katel
katello  26384     1  1 15:06 ?        00:00:18 thin server  (0.0.0.0:5000)                                                                    
katello  26388     1  1 15:06 ?        00:00:15 thin server (0.0.0.0:5001) 


After starting katello-jobs by hand...
[root@smoketest ~]# chkconfig --list | grep katello
katello         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@smoketest ~]# ps -ef | grep katel
...
katello  26957     1  2 15:31 ?        00:00:00 katello/delayed_job                             
katello  26959     1  0 15:31 ?        00:00:00 delayed_job_monitor



This should be started when the configure command is run, or delayed jobs won't run
