Did you use it with the same dongle on another machine or OS?

This looks like wrong linkkeys. See the btsco page:

Ups - I see there is an error in there. [headsetaddr] should be
[dongleaddr]. The headsetaddr is in the linkkeys file on the line with
the linkkey. It is enough to remove that single line, thus retaining
the other pairing information.

Yes. sounds perfectly like this problem.
