You have been unable to locate above key, if you are in Karmic, aren't
you?
Sorry for misleading you, as this key no longer exist in Karmic and I
should check it first.
If putting synclient TouchPadOff=1 in in the .xinitrc file, as suggested
by don fisher, 
(by the way Don, I'm sorry that I presumed you are using Gnome,..eh, I
have to regret a lot of things these days)
did not work for you, you can try some suggestion from
"Touch Pad refuses to disable" thread. (subject is more appropriate, I
think).
