Don,

The ciphers can be used with the SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols. Even if the 
SSLv2 protocol has been disabled, the same ciphers can be used with an 
SSLv3 connection. This may be a misunderstanding on my part however as 
you appear to be attempting to disable the protocol its self. You could 
ask the client to export the registry keys from the server so you could 
verify the correct entries. I would also inquire about any 
firewalls/proxies/etc in between you and the server you are testing 
against. Perhaps the another device along the route could be handling 
the SSL?
