No, that sounds too much like a krypto key keeper. I like "gatekeeper".
It's got some history behind it.

Or, we could borrow from the NSA and go with "dockmaster".

I also like "scapegoat". More along that line:
        
        Real World                      PC Version
        
        Roadblock                       Conveyance Check
        Fall Guy                        Fall Person
        Whipping Boy                    Self-esteem Enhanced Juvenile

Characteristics of a gatekeeper:

        Paranoid                        Caring
        Obsessive                       Detail Oriented
        Anally Retentive                Differently Excreting
        
Have a really nice day. 8-)
