[Matrix] If The Keymaker is essential to getting Neo to The Architect, why are the Agents trying to apprehend him?

To the point that, when confronted with Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, two previous-version Agents, and The Keymaker.... he's their primary target.

The Agents are part of the program. They defend the Matrix. The Keymaker allows access to *all* it's backdoors. 

Judging by their behaviour, they are unaware of the One's importance in the continued function of the Matrix. They are just trying to defend it, as they are programmed to do.
