How exactly do you start boincmgr?
Did you start boincmgr from the same directory where boinc is running, As
suggested by the error message? Boincmgr is looking for the file
gui_rpc_auth.cfg in the current directory, i.e. if you have installed
boinc into ~/BOINC then
cd $HOME; BOINC/boincmgr
will not work, but
cd $HOME/BOINC; ./boincmgr
will.

I tried using the launcher in menu that was placed there by the
automatic installation when I yum install boinc; and,
I tried boincmgr from the user command line.

I have no $HOME/BOINC; (I used to in Fedora 8)
yum installed all boinc files in /var/lib/boinc/ including
gui_rpc_auth.cfg.
I have executables for boinc_client and boincmgr in /usr/bin

If gui_rpc_auth.cfg is there and readable for you, then
cd /var/lib/boinc; boincmgr
should start the manager. If this works, you can fill /var/lib/boinc into
the field "working directory" in your menu entry.

I tried creating a symbolic link from /usr/bin/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
to /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
No joy. Does anybody else have any ideas??

Doesn't ask for a password. Don't know why.

Don't have a working directory field in the menu entry that I know of,
just a command line -- but I can't get the above command (or variations)
to launch from the menu or Icon/launcher.
I am getting forgetful, tired and old -- or all three. I'll leave it
until tomorrow.

boincmgr is not in /var/lib/boinc, it's in /usr/bin. So:
cd /var/lib/boinc
/usr/bin/boincmgr (or just boincmgr, since it's in $PATH).
