From what you, in a rather short description, explain here it sounds to me that it works. You need to click the pyhoca icon in the systray and choose to do the actual connection, or session start if you like, because the way pyhoca works your authenticated at the point you describe. The next step is to connect using that icon in the systray. When you understand it, it's actually useful and powerful to use.
By the way, I think there are some documentation on how to use pyhoca in the wiki.

-- Well, no. I have the session set up in PyHoca, but for some reason it's not invoking my SSH key so I have to manually log in. Maybe I have to specify the key in session settings. But when I click on that logged-in session, and hit Start New Desktop Session.... nothing. Zip. I can do that a hundred times, and it ignores me. So I set in session settings for it to automatically launch a session on login, and it's not starting there either. PyHoca is just not working.
